This handmade gift is from Peace by Piece’s partner workshop in New Delhi, India, WORK+SHELTER. There, women learn sewing and other skills to create high-quality products for the export market. The only hiring prerequisite is demonstrated economic need.
Our partner provides sweatshop-free labor, fair wages, and livelihood benefits for employees. Each of the women earns 3 times the standard wage in India and is guaranteed income security like savings support and their own bank account. This minimizes their financial dependency on often abusive spouses, charity, or exploitative work.
