THE HEART BEHIND THE ARTISANS
The One Purpose label came about as a collaborative effort between more than 20 women who are part of Mabira Collective in Uganda, with the final design created by Diana Laruni, an aspiring young Ugandan artist. While many of these women experienced poverty, lack of education, and abuse in their pasts, they have banded together with the unified purpose of providing a better life for their children. The design is a combination of beads representing their handmade jewelry craft, leaves and water representing the earth from which many of their materials are derived, and a circle representing their circle of women coming together with one purpose.
One of the Mabira artisans, Eve, used to live on the edge of subsistence and was only one setback away from having nothing. Sometimes she earned enough to provide one meal a day to her three children, but sometimes they went without. All of that changed when she joined Mabira Collective. She learned how to make beautiful jewelry and, for the first time, was paid what she deserved.
“I have three children who are my world,” Eve says. “Before Mabira, I was only able to think about how I could find food for them each day. Now I look to the future and am working to own a home. Because of my hard work, my children have enough to eat and are enjoying going to school.”
For each wholesale purchase of One Purpose, 35 percent is donated to The D. Gary Young, Young Living Foundation to support its efforts to protect and empower the world's youth. This mission includes helping women break the poverty cycle and achieve financial independence. This assistance will help them support their families and communities and break the bounds of poverty.
