The Artisan Communities:

Individuals in developing countries and less privileged areas of the "developed" world produce high quality and intricately crafted items such as scarves, hats, tapestries, jewelry, ceramics, and basketry. Most often it is the middlemen who profit from the  sale of these goods while the actual producer remains trapped in a cycle of poverty.

INTO's partners represent the people who are unnoticed when the draw bridge of economic commerce is consistently raised.

INTO serves to encourage, empower, and work with thepartner artisans. The relationship is one of equality where the value of the partners' concerns and ideas equal those of INTO's leadership team.We have been called to close a gap such that artisans and their families can lead healthy, prosperous lives.
