Handmade quilt by women in San Pedro Sula, Honduras
Description
This beautiful Stared patterned quilt is called Mighty to Save and was made by our Maker Marta. Marta's story is a testament to the positive influence of other women in the bordo.
Marta is an incredible individual. By providing Marta with the opportunity to join One Common Thread, open a bank account, and take on her own projects, we have not only empowered her but also helped her realize her entrepreneurial spirit. Her initiative to purchase a refrigerator with her earnings is commendable, as it allowed her to expand her capabilities and explore additional income-generating opportunities.
Marta started a frozen chocolate banana stand from her home and has started another means of generating income, but also a way for her to provide a delightful treat to the children in the slums. It's wonderful to see how she is utilizing her skills and resources to create a positive impact within her community.
