We facilitate the creation of jewelry in support of of women through employment opportunities that empower. We believe that a piece of jewelry can be a catalyst for change - it can conjure stories and memories, and when designed, assembles and gifted with intention, we can become more connected - to others and ourselves. The I AM LOVE Project supports women through training and community support so they can gain knowledge needed for personal and professional development. To accomplish this, 60% of our earring, bracelets and necklaces are handmade by those in Manitoba facing employment barriers, and 40% are imported for assembly. We focus on women who: Are making less than $30,000 annually. Experience mental health/addictions challenges, and are facing barriers in finding employment. On the Employment and Income Assistance Program, but needs supplemental income. Have a disability, incarcerated, exposed to sexual abuse or domestic violence. Need a sense of community and purpose. When a woman is economically empowered, her children and her community thrive. Friends and family will be blessed knowing that a gift from I AM LOVE honours and restores women, and empowers them to be socially and economically independent.
