Maya is the word for Love in a local himalyan dialect.
This necklace symbolizes the name Maya & a vision to see young
women empowered to leave Red Light Areas.
In April this year (2014) we started a guesthouse to provide jobs for
at-risk women, coinciding with the guesthouse is a beauty parlor and
in the future a handicrafts shop. Slowly something truly beautiful is
in the making.
Most women working in Red Light Areas in the Himalayas, are
uneducated, and have come from impoverished communities. They are very
much at-risk of being abused, exploited or contracting HIV/AIDs.
Our vision is to provide skill training and employment to
disadvantaged women, and empower them to see positive changes in their
own lives. But we can't do it alone!
In only a few months we have managed to raise the first half of what
we needed to fully acquire and run the guesthouse. Now we are down to
the final stretch. We have a further $5000 to raise.
For every $50 donated one of these beautiful necklace sets will be
sent out postage included. This particular necklace comes in a choice
of three different colored stones, pearl, turquoise or garnet. The
necklaces are hand-crafted real silver, and are hand-assembled by
women who have left Red Light Areas and are starting afresh.
