Handmade Hope provides opportunities for artisans to create self-initiated products and achieve self-sustainability. Artists train individuals to make their products, who then train others, creating projects and economic independence for artisans. Handmade Hope acts as a connecting link between artisans and markets, helping increase their sales and sustainability without deriving monetary gains. Their products include Ecothene bags made from newspapers to replace plastic, envelopes and notebooks made from recycled paper, and cloth bags crafted by women to create employment while saving the planet.
