At RAI, artisans overcome barriers to employment through skills and micro business training while handcrafting goods from recycled materials. This innovative approach champions both equity and sustainability!

With a strength-based approach, RAI’s programs meet women where they are, celebrating their talents. The model of flexible, at-home work empowers artisans to overcome barriers to employment such as child care responsibilities, language, and lack of transportation, to earn equitable income, and to achieve economic stability.
