Serving Women Refugees in Kansas City

making an impact in our communities at home

We believe all women should have the opportunity to express their creativity while contributing to building a better society. Our resilient refugee women work in collaboration to establish better lives for themselves, their families, and their communities.

We bring women together to work collaboratively, market their products, and provide them with supplemental income. We also work to repurpose surplus and scrap fabrics into beautiful, handcrafted products, keeping them out of the landfill and preventing pollution.
