The Impact We're Building Toward
Our current outcomes represent the early stages of what we believe can become a transformative model for community-based economic empowerment.
With sustained funding and strategic growth, we aim to reach 500+ artisan households across 30+ communities within three years—demonstrating that ethical commerce can scale without sacrificing dignity or fairness.
Every metric we track serves a purpose: ensuring accountability to funders, maintaining transparency with artisans, and building evidence that this model works. Because sustainable impact requires sustainable measurement.
