If you've never heard of 1000 Shillings, it is a non profit organization that helps impoverished women artisans worldwide by giving them the ability to be successful business owners to market their wonderful products with seed money to get them started. This enables these women to help provide for their families, as well as a way to have their products seen by an international market. With these handmade products also comes a personal story. Consumers get to know the artist and her cause. 1000 Shillings also gives these women the resources to succeed, pairing them with business mentors that help them learn and grow their businesses each step of the way!
