WHY WE'RE UNIQUE

HANDS UP NOT HANDOUTS partners with women of the world in the design, production and marketing of unique, one-of-a-kind goods using handicraft techniques. We revise technology using traditional skills and turn them into something with more universal appeal in the global market place. For example, our first collections feature beautiful hand-embroidered bracelets with intricate designs from Palestine which were originally used to make table cloths and home goods and in Rwanda, we applied the skill of basket-making to create lush, brightly colored sweet grass earrings.

Being a part of Hands Up Not Handouts means actively investing and participating in the lives of women all over the world. Our Ambassadors and our Team are not only spokespeople for our brand but firmly believe in the mission to provide a Hand Up to the women of the world.
