Stories of Flourishing
Alicia
Alicia is one of Rosario’s talented Artisans. A few years ago, Alicia gave birth to her first child – her daughter Carmen. She says that her consistent and fairly-paid work with Rosario left her without worry as she prepared for this new chapter. Not only was Alicia able to focus on her baby, she was even able to take maternity leave. And now, her ability to work from home allows her to both care for Carmen and contribute to her family’s financial stability.
Rosario & Karina
Rosario has dedicated her life to protecting women and girls from violence. Tragically, a few years ago, violence found its way into her own family, when her daughter Karina was the victim of brutality at the hands of a relative at just 12 years old. Rosario prosecuted the perpetrator, and never gave up her fight to see justice done for her daughter, even in the face of an unjust system. To help Karina heal, we reached out to our friends at International Justice Mission, who provided her with therapy and resources that helped her move forward into the hopeful future she deserves.
