IMPACT ON INDIA
In India, our approach is practical and personal. We collaborate closely with artisans, listening to what will make the biggest difference at home and in their work—and then we act. That’s why support has taken the form of income-generating tools like sewing machines and mixers, as well as everyday essentials including a bicycle, fridge, washing machine, a handicap tricycle, and food and kitchen utensils. These additions reduce financial stress, open new revenue streams, and create more stability, so artisans can focus on their craft and their families’ future.

We went on a wild journey and appeared on Shark Tank Because nothing says love like dragging your 70 years old mom out of retirement to help with operations and finances, I brought her on the show too! ;-)

Love Is Project donated $1500 USD to our Indian artisans - for supplies they requested and sewing machines so they have another source of income besides beading. Traditionally, the women are not allowed to go to school. We have been in talks with the leaders to get a tutor through an local NGO in to teach them literacy and financial literacy to empower them. This is the next phase along with getting Solar electricity to their village in 2021.
Love Is Project partners with Access Development in India. We donated $1500 in 2020 to create jobs for 7 women to make 7000 masks to donate in the slums.
These additions reduce financial stress, open new revenue streams, and create more stability, so artisans can focus on their craft and their families’ future.

A QUICK P.S. FROM OUR FOUNDER
I believe LOVE is passion for what you do. Love Is Project is truly a labor of LOVE. Between my mother, Gladys, and myself, we singlehandedly run this organization full-time. We are the definition of a scrappy, big-hearted start-up always looking to meet the moment and jump in to help where we can. Powered by LOVE and a tribe of collaborators, mentors, friends, and a worldwide support system, Love Is Project exists. ♥
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support!
