ABOUT THE ARTISAN
Local Hope is an artisan group based in Houston, Texas, made up of vulnerable women, including refugees and survivors of human trafficking. Supported by Mercy House Global (MHG), this group benefits from skills training and employment opportunities aimed at empowering women. Local Hope provides a supportive work environment where women can rebuild their lives and achieve economic independence.
In addition to creating economic opportunities, MHG extends its support to the local refugee community through a variety of programs. These initiatives include ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes and empowerment luncheons. These events not only promote fellowship but also provide skills training, empowering individuals to grow their capabilities and integrate successfully into their new environments. MHG’s comprehensive approach emphasizes community development and the holistic well-being of its members.
