Oasis India and Madrasfuse
On a trip to India a few years ago, we visited Oasis India. Their work includes rescue and rehabilitation in the red light area in Mumbai as well as providing job skills for at risk women in marginalized communities in other cities, including Chennai. The picture below was taken during our tour of the sewing center where we met seamstresses who help support their families by using their skills to bring life to our designs.

Local collaboration with Refugee community
​
The people of Afghanistan have a special place in my heart and I am so grateful for the opportunity to have gone there on a mission trip several years ago. We had the opportunity to partner with a talented Afghan seamstress though a local non-profit that serves refugees resettling in the Dallas area. Through our collaboration, were able to create designs that support economic opportunities to those fleeing difficult circumstances and rebuilding a life
in the US.
