Global Daughter aims to provide women artisans the best opportunities to be creative and productive. That is why we have initiated a project that will supply the women of Janakpur Arts and Crafts Center with a brand new sewing machine. Half of the proceeds from the new "I want to be a Global Daughter" shopping bag will go to a fund to purchase a modern sewing machine for the women's workshop in Janakpur, Nepal.
They currently have 3 dinosaur-old second hand machines, two of which need to be repaired. The Center does not have the money to repair the old ones or buy a new one. This has effected production volume and that effects the women's income. A new sewing machine not only creates more opportunities for the women artisans, it also contributes to the growth and potential of the Center. And that is what we want to see with all our producers. We want to invest in their lives and establish long term relationships.
One quality sewing machine can make a big difference to women artisans whose livelihoods are connected to their handicrafts. So, join the project, pick up a Global Daughter cotton shopping bag at the next house party or wait to purchase when our online boutique is launched in September!
A bag that tells a story......

Let's do this.
Great project! I am there!
Sounds great. I'm sorry I'm such a liar, I'll try calling you tomorrow. I really do want to do a party whenever you can fit one in.
I just bought my bag last night! It's so cute.
