TAKE TIME TO CARE
Photography by Deborah Albert
Women working in crafts in the developing world play an essential role in the preservation of cultural heritage, the promotion of economic sustainability, and the advancement of gender equality.
Take Time To Care reaches out to women in rural areas or fragile and conflict-affected states, as they face significant challenges, including barriers to market access and finance, which make it harder for them to grow their artisan businesses.
We work closely with artisan brands, bringing you to women who are doing incredible work in this sector.
These small brands have transparent supply chains, creating meaningful change in their families and communities, while also speaking to quality, craftsmanship, and preserving their rich cultural traditions.
Meet women who are blazing a trail!
