Handmade quilt by women in San Pedro Sula, Honduras
Description
This beautiful Scrappy and Oval patterned quilt is called Western Roots 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.
