Refugee Artisan Initiative

RAI partners with refugee and immigrant women to foster an inclusive, prosperous transition to the US through artisan skill training and micro business development. Refugee Artisan Initiative provides recent refugees and immigrants with the skills to become self sufficient. Many of our artisans are women who experience language barriers as well as employment obstacles as mothers of young children. We provide them with free tools, equipment, and training in the comfort of their homes to make beautiful fabric-inspired jewelry and accessories. Our profits provide our artisans with a fair wage and fund programs to assist them in transitioning to their new home. Support our first GoFundMe for our artisans to create masks for medical workers: https://linktr.ee/raiprogram1
