Description

We are a social enterprise that exists to employ, educate and empower women who wish to transition out of shelter living and into an independent life. We train and hire them to make jewelry from fallen graffiti. The proceeds from the sale go to paying them a livable wage and supportive services like financial literacy, life wellness, business education, housing resources, legal aid, women empowerment, etc
