Through dignified work and the Word of God, Hand & Cloth offers livelihood and Life to women at-risk.
Old Testament writers used the Hebrew word רפא (rapha) to refer to healing, especially divine healing. More literally, rapha means to sew together or to stitch. And so our name, Hand and Cloth, is an image not only of the creative work these women are doing, but also of the creative, healing work God is doing in their lives. As each product is handmade by a woman, our hope is that she would come to know that she is handmade by God.
Our kantha blankets are made in Bangladesh by women who have completed transitional job training programs and now work in dignity at a business called Basha. At Basha, women gain job skills, develop into leaders and entrepreneurs, and experience Biblical values lived out in the workplace.
