ABOUT THE ARTISAN: Miujiza
Miujiza means “miracles” in Swahili and that’s exactly what these women are. The grandmothers of some of the babies from the maternity homes are who make up this amazing group. Against all odds, these women have become ceramic workers and master weavers. Their lives are changing insignificant ways with this sustainable work andnew opportunities. Many of their daughters are now able to return home because of what God has done.
Local Hope
Mercy House Global is located just outside Houston, Texas, a city of more than 70,000 refugees one of the largest populations in the USA. MHG employs about ten women who have resettled in Houston. This group of artisans is called Local Hope, and created candles, spa products, and home decor for the MHG fair trade line.
Local Hope also supports women in Houston, TX who are coming out of a life of oppression and are in a vulnerable situation. This group of artisans create our candle and spa products.
In addition to job creation, MHG provides programs to support the local refugee community, including ESOL (English Speakers of Other Languages) and empowerment luncheons that offer fellowship and skill training.
