Will you help us build a "working capital fund"? When you become a member of SHONA your donation will be put
directly into a fund that will be used to pay for material, shipping and
wages up front. As products are sold, the fund will be renewed
again and again, allowing us to build a sustainable future. Learn more about this!
Our craftspeople are strong and talented. They want to provide for themselves.
The best way to honor their dignity and skill is to create a self-sufficient organization.... an organization where the work
of their hands creates the change in their lives. This is sustainable change.
But we need your help!
For each item you see in our store, we have already paid to buy the cloth, ship the product, and we have already paid the woman who made
that item. We cover these costs until each product is sold because we work with the poorest
of the poor. Too often people are poor not because they lack skills but because they lack opportunity. They know
how to sew but can not afford the cloth to begin. Your donation puts cloth in the hands of our craftspeople. It is the gift of opportunity. If you like what we do, and who we serve, please consider helping us continue into the future.
