Noonday… “when you satisfy the needs of the oppressed your night will become like the noonday.”
I wanted to tell you guys about a fantastic company called Noonday Collection. Before I do, I have to say that unlike my other giveaways, this one is NOT a sponsored post. Noonday isn’t giving me anything to write this, I’m buying the little gift that one of you will win because I wanted to tell you about Noonday. I really love this company!
Noonday Collection is a company that works with groups of vulnerable people in different parts of the world like Uganda, Ethiopia, India and Haiti who are skilled artisans. They create handmade jewelry…
Home Accessories…
Bags…
Belts…
Scarves
Hats
The artisans have been given the opportunity to start their own businesses through micro finance loans from Whole Foods, World Vision & other organizations and have been able to build fair and sustainable livelihoods for themselves and others in their communities. Most of the artisans were experiencing extreme poverty before learning their trade.
(Here a few of of the artisans)
Noonday takes their products and shares them with people in the U.S. to increase their client base and make their businesses more sustainable.
My friend Sarah works with Noonday Collection and says the overall goal of the company is to “make a difference in global poverty by providing a pathway out of poverty for these artisans and in doing so prevent additional children from being orphaned or trafficked”
Sarah and her husband Jason have a heart to make a difference in the lives of the poor and oppressed and working with Noonday helps Sarah stay at home with her two babies as well as giving her the privilege of helping others.
So when you buy something from Noonday you are getting something for yourself (or someone else) and giving to someone who really needs it!
