ABOUT THE ARTISAN
Rahab’s Rope empowers women and children affected by or at risk of human trafficking. One hundred percent of profits support prevention, intervention, and aftercare efforts. Partnering with artisan groups across South Asia, Rahab’s Rope provides women with training in traditional crafts, helping them secure stable incomes and build sustainable futures.
Your Brass Bell Garland was crafted by Creative International, a Rahab’s Rope artisan partner specializing in iron and brass bells—a skill passed down for three generations. Each handcrafted bell reflects a heritage of creating bells for livestock, blending rustic charm with soothing tones. This ethical work offers artisans meaningful employment, helps their children stay in school, and breaks cycles of poverty.
The artisans working with Creative International are courageous women, many of whom are single mothers, widows, or individuals shunned by society. Some come from challenging backgrounds, including the devadasi system, a tradition in India where girls and women were once dedicated to temple service but now often results in exploitation. These women face severe ostracism and limited opportunities.
Creative International provides them with meaningful employment, offering a dignified source of income through bell-making and painting. In addition, the organization supports their holistic needs, including medical care and educational support for their children.
