One out of seven people in the world are hungry. Women around the world are forced to put their children to bed hungry every night. Many times these children sleep on dirt floors. For most of those children, there is no hope that they can go to school the next morning. Can you imagine your child hungry and lacking hope for tomorrow?
Trades of Hope is a unique business structure that helps partner with these women. Some have been forced into the sex trade. Some have been acid attacked. Some are just in the unfortunate circumstance of being born in a desperately poor country. Each of these beautiful women has a gift.
They don’t want charity, they want an opportunity! They have handcrafted unique works of art that Trades of Hope is marketing on their behalf giving them the opportunity that they need to improve their own lives and the lives of their children. It is sustainable, long term, multi-generational change!
There are two wonderful ways you can support this ministry as a business model. You can help support your family, while helping a family in Haiti, Uganda or Peru by joining the Trades of Hope Team of like-minded, motivated women! Become a Compassion Entrepreneur promoting Fair Trade products by women around the world, and you earn an income.
And secondly, by purchasing any of the lovely assortment of handcrafted jewelry, scarves, journals, bags, candles, and other home decor you are helping to support impoverished women around the world.
Today, we are excited to give away a few items that have been handcrafted by these precious ladies around the world. We will have three lovely winners, one for each of these prizes that are being offered.
1. Multi strand silver necklace from India (pictured at top of post – $20 value)- This beautiful necklace is simply stunning and classy. Through the sale of these necklaces, children in three poor villages in India can go to school.
2. Capiz Feather Earrings from the Philippines (pictured just above – $16 value) – I am in love with these earrings. They are beautiful and large, and very elegant. Help abused women in the Philippines gain opportunity.

I love this idea for a business!
I also really like the scarves, I’d love to learn how to make one, what a cool skill to know!
Love those little copper wire birds! Precious! If I were to win I’d love the necklace. It’s really beautiful!
I love promoting anything Fair Trade. The set of two lotus mugs is a great item on their website. For the give-away, I really like the gift card.
I really like the flower silver fruit bowl and the love silver fruit bowl (especially for wedding presents). Thanks for making us aware of this organization! It’s hard to choose which prize I would like since they are all fabulous… I think i’d choose the necklace. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing this opportunity with us all Lindsay! I really liked the wire bird ornaments from the website. I think all three of the giveaways are great and would have a hard time saying a favorite. . . I guess I prefer the earrings or gift certificate.
I also registered on their website for the newsletter.
I really like the multi strands of silver necklace – and everything else is really great too! And a good fair price as well
I love the Haitian Hand Rolled Recycled Earrings and would choose the gift card. Such a cool business, glad to know about it. Thanks!
I signed up for the newsletter. Thanks!
What a cool company! I would choose a gift card to buy the Silver Princess Bracelet. It’s so simple and elegant!
I thin my favorite is the aqua open weave scarf. Love scarves! Of the three prizes, I would choose the multi-strand sliver necklace.
I love the peru cream chandelier earrings! So pretty (but much of their stuff is lovely and unique!). I would love any prize, but the gift card would probably be my first choice so I could get those earrings:)
I like the Haitian hand rolled recycled necklace. The multi strands of silver necklace is also lovely. ( :
I like the bamboo shaker – would make a great addition to our marching band!!! I would like the gift card.
I really like their scarves, especially the aqua one. I would love to win the feather earrings!
I like the vegetable finger puppets! (I’m just like that.) I’d be happy to win any of the prizes, I really like the necklace, but the earrings are edgy.
I really like the blue wrap bracelet. I would want to win either the necklace or the gift certificate.
Inverted Tear Drop Capiz Earrings were my fav on the website. If I were to win, I think I like best the Capiz Feather Earrings. They sell really cute products, what a great way to get involved.
THIS IS A GREAT MINISTRY THANKS TO THE PPL WHO STARTED IT AND TO THE LORD WHO HAS MADE IT HAPPE.
I Signed up for the newsletter
I love the silver necklas and feather earrings.
My favorite was the multi-strand silver necklace, so it’s also the one I would choose if I were to win. So glad to read about Trades of Hope on your website. I have seen a business card for it at my pediatrician’s office, but I was not familiar with the company.
I love the necklace! I think it’s my fave on their site, too!
That’s a beautiful necklace. I also like the scarves on their website (hard to pick a favorite) and the purvian bracelet.
I love the wire wrapped set. If I won, the silver strand necklace is beautiful!

I really like The black glass beaded multi stranded bracelet. This is really cool! If I ever buy jewelry it would be from here. Therefore the gift card would be my pick
I love the turquoise wrap bracelet!
What a neat company and what a wonderful ministry!
Of the jewelry above, I’d say my favorite would have to be the Capiz Feather Earrings!
Thank you for hosting this giveaway!

Love this company! I like the Capiz Peacock Earrings: Very cute!
I really like the above necklace, which is what I would choose. But I have to say the vegetable finger puppets and super sweet. I want them too!

Both of the pieces of jewelry highlighted above are beautiful, but I love the silver necklace!

I love the Indian tri leaf earrings (I’m a sucker for leaf/feather jewelry). If I won, I would pick the capiz earrings because I always forget about gift cards and never end up using them.
Nope. Can’t pick just one. I’m a sucker for bags, so I like Large Carpet/Travel Bag (BGL146). I collect angels, so I’m in love with the Peru Angel Finger Puppets. I’m usually not a big jewelry fan, but I really like Multi strand silver necklace from India. So my pick for the prize would either be the silver necklace or the gift certificate – I’d be happy either way.
What a great company! I like the Peru slim bracelet. If I won I would choose the gift card.
I like the “Indian Tri-Leaf Earrings”….and I love the feather earrings above.

My favorite color is purple, so after a tough decision, my favorite product would be the Purple Glass Bead Necklace. My second favorite is the silver fruit bowl and my third is the crosses as we love seeing a cross almost everywhere we turn as a subtle reminder of living a full life in the name of Jesus. Blessings to your ministry and to all these women.

Thanks for the chance to win!
I have the candle holders and we use them every night when we eat dinner as a family. Did you know that on one side is for tea lights and if you flip the candle holder over, you can put long stem candles in it? Also, if you take your tea light out of the metal and put it in the candle holder, the fire glows through the votive. It’s really beautiful! Thanks for checking us out!

I am so excited to read more about this company! I remember an awkward moment that i caused at a typical jewelry party (ie stella and dot, lia sophia, etc) when i asked who made the jewelry, and if it was considered fair trade or if the company made assurances that there was not child labor involved in their production. The host of the party was not pleased with my question! I’m so glad companie like this exist.

I got up with my baby at 3am and decided to check my email before going to sleep again, I’m always inspired by your blog and reading about Trades of Hope has really made me want to get on board and help these wonderful women. Ive been longing to find the courage to quit a wonderful job to stay home with my children and will be praying about becoming a CE now to help with income and be able to be part of something amazing at the same time. Thank you so much for posting, I had no idea this existed. As for the contest- I loved the turquoise wrap bracelet online and would love to win the gift card so I can get started now
after reading the stories of the women, how can I buy these types items from anywhere else? It’s now 430 am and the past hour and a half I’ve spent is very well worth the sleep lost! Thank u again!
