International Ministry

Through our ministry, we empower artisans in third world countries and local artisans by sourcing items directly through them. In so doing, we ensure that producers get a fair price for their product. In particular, for those in third world countries, this serves to reduce poverty, provide for the ethical treatment of workers, and promote environmentally sustainable practices. In turn, our customers can purchase products with confidence that they are doing so in line with their values and principles. 

Moises Rayo lives in Esteli, Nicaragua, and is the first one in his family to have the opportunity to attend college. Here he is working with some of his classmates on a project for school. We are so proud of him! 

We also love not only visiting our artisans, but to also build relationships with them, and be a part of assisting them with the education of their children and meeting some of their physical needs.

Congratulations, Jarixa! She is one of several students who is sponsored by Building Lives International.

She is the first one in her family to do so and we are so proud of her and equally honored to be a part of her journey. Her plans are now to go on to attend college, and Building Lives International will continue to support her as she works toward her educational goals. Jarixa lives in Esteli, Nicaragua.
