our heart and history

The Blessing Basket Project is different. The organization seeks to empower artisans to become entrepreneurs and leave the organization’s program.Using a unique Prosperity Wages® model, which the organization developed, artisans are carefully selected and remain in the program for approximately three years. While in the program, participants are required to start businesses. Once those businesses become successful, the artisan then graduates out of the organization’s program. The Blessing

Basket Project’s exclusive Artisan&You® program enables purchasers to meet the very artisan who created their hand crafted product. Through The Blessing Basket Project’s Artisan&You program customers can interact with the artisan who made their basket. They can see a photo of their artisan, learn about their family, write them a letter, and be informed every time they are paid. The Blessing Basket Project is an innovator and continues to set new standards in global poverty reduction.

Prior to joining The Blessing Basket Project® in Bangladesh, Majada

lived in extreme poverty. Our Prosperity Wages® model enabled her

to lease this land and plant rice. When asked what it felt like to know

she will never go hungry again, this was her reaction.

These women in Northern Ghana were all illiterate when we found

them. The Blessing Basket Project’s Prosperity Wages® model

enabled them to educate their daughters. Their daughters, in turn,

helped them learn to read and understand important documents

and how to sign their name.

Empowered, the women opened savings accounts, bought land

and live stock. Your purchase of Blessing Basket handmade baskets

from Ghana and around the world helps end illiteracy among girls,

empowering mothers and daughters to achieve sustainable financial

independence.

Our artsians in Indonesia use a traditional art form called batik. The

word “batik” comes from Javanese word ‘tritik’ meaning ‘printing in

wax’. This method of decorating has been practiced for centuries

in many Asian countries. The simple process is done by applying

hot liquid wax to fabric either drawn by hand or printed by hand

using a pattern block. The fabric is then dipped into a dye solution

– the waxed areas protect the cloth and the dye can only penetrate

the unprotected areas. The methods used in Indonesia are more

elaborate with successive waxing, dying and re-waxing to achieve

highly beautiful and intricate designs.

Madagascar

Madagascar’s forests are home to plants and animals found nowhere

else in the world. Forest areas that remain are being destroyed at

an alarming rate due to unsustainable human activity. The Missouri

Botanical Garden and The Blessing Basket Project® teamed up

to ensure that Artisans no longer over-use the forest to survive.

When you buy a Blessing Basket from Madagascar, you give forest

conservation efforts there a fighting chance.

Easy access to clean water is a serious challenge for most rural

Ugandan women. Blessing Basket® weaver Grace Nassale saw this as

a business opportunity. A government supplied water line ran through

her village, but it was inaccessible to those who truly needed it. The

Blessing Basket Project’s Prosperity Wages® model enabled Grace to

buy a metered tap on the water line. She now sells clean water to her

neighbors for a small profit. This is one of three sustainable sources

of income Grace generated for herself using her weaving income

putting her on the road to permanent financial independence.
