The Darfur Women’s Centers: Rebuilding lives one basket at a time...
When you buy a basket made by a displaced woman, you do so much more than just buy a product. You enable a woman to be self-sufficient. You help educate her. You empower her. When you empower a woman, you change the world. So if you want to change the world, buy a DPDO basket. Paulette Cooper
