Blog Prompt Week 10: Article Related to Bethel

Jewelry Created By Trafficking Survivors Is Beautifully Empowering


I really enjoyed this this article in the style section of the Huffington Post, as it showcases a beautifully empowering brand praised for being as stylish as it is supporting a great cause. The company focuses on providing jobs and purpose for women who have been victims of sex trafficking. Although our project, Bethel, is working with women of slightly different circumstances, I believe they have very similar goals in giving women in difficult conditions an opportunity to learn a skill and make money for themselves. The Kwagala Project featured in this article gives women a real, marketable skill and a source of income, which is the same basic idea of Bethel.

  1. The Kwagala Project sounds like an amazing organization! It's very relevant to what we'll be working on as well with Bethel. Thanks for sharing this and I'm excited to be working with you!

  2. Glad you found this! It's very similar to our project, we could use the fact that there is a story behind each of the bracelets as a marketing tool when we help branch Bethel's reach.
