I often talk about the reason behind why I am so passionate about enhancing your mind, body and soul to become your best self, and that is so that you can then do your best to make a difference in the lives of others around the world. This is why I am so excited to officially partner with Trades of Hope, an international organization that empowers women out of poverty and sex trafficking by providing them with sustainable living through selling ethical products around the world.

The Trades of Hope story really speaks to me because I’ve always had a special place in my heart for working children in orphanages, but it still always broke my heart that these solutions were temporary and less-than-ideal. With Trades of Hope, mothers can actually create a living for themselves and raise their children with a real home and a mother’s love.

The organization works by creating entrepreneurial opportunities for women in America to advocate for women around the world by marketing the fashion accessories and other products made by these women, and sending the proceeds back to the local artisans in their home countries. Instead of donating funds or resources, which are often limited, it actually provides hope to women to find relief from a life of poverty and empowers them to become independent and create a sustainable living for themselves and their families.

At the same time, Trades of Hope also empowers its partners around the world to create sustainable businesses, realize their potential and speak up for those who do not have a voice. And the more they see success in their business, the more the local artisans see success in their trade, thus creating a cycle of hope and empowerment for women all around the world.

As a collective humanity, we have made so much progress but there is still so much that needs to change. The reason for many of the challenges faced today is not solely due to a lack of resources or skills, but because of a lack of hope and the right opportunities. As a Trades of Hope partner, you can play an active role in and take part in this revolution.

When I first heard about Trades of Hope, I was a bit skeptical and various factors held me back, including cost, commitment and the opinions of others. Upon further research, I discovered that the starter kit is very reasonably priced considering the direct and massive impact it has for women around the world. I found that commitment level was completely up to me, and that even purchasing one beautiful piece of jewelry could benefit a local artisan. And when it comes to the opinions of others…well, that is something I never want to hold me back from doing what I know in my heart is right.

I quickly realized that this is not a typical form of multi-level marketing; it is a unique and compassionate business opportunity and sisterhood that is founded upon faith, hope and generosity. Simply put, Trades of Hope helps thousands of women around the world to keep their children, protect them from poverty, disease and sex trafficking, and provides them a future of empowerment and hope. And that is something I would regret NOT being a part of.

If you are searching for an opportunity to make a powerful difference while spreading hope, sharing the art of fashion and creation, joining a community of like-minded women and earning extra cash, you can learn more and become a partner here – I am confident it will be one of the best decisions you have ever made!
