It is an exclusive line of high-quality, fair-trade accessories that allow people worldwide to use Fashion as a Force for Good.(TM) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOur Voices Rising is Gretchen's inspirational origin story about the start of Trades of Hope, after her first-hand experience of starting a charity in Haiti in the early 2000s. The charity included an orphanage, school, and medical clinic, but led Gretchen to the a realization that most orphans in her care were only orphans because their mothers couldn't afford to care for them. Gretchen's perception of helping shifted when she realized the uncomfortable truth: that her charity was often just a band-aid on the real problems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGretchen completely changed her worldview and model of charity to a sustainable business model that empowered women to provide what their families really needed: access to education, medical care, nutritious food, a safe home, and clean water. Today Gretchen and the team at Trades of Hope continue to help women rise out of poverty, trafficking, and gender inequality by selling their fair-trade goods with small business support of women across the United States. Gretchen is a pioneer in the field of sustainable business, and the partnerships she creates empower every single woman involved around the world.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 11, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47283600687289,"sku":"9781955051262","price":23.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/4309\/4713\/files\/nwK1lcDqTZ9781955051262.webp?v=1779634232","url":"https:\/\/thoobo.com\/products\/our-voices-rising-one-ceos-journey-to-alleviate-poverty-using-fashion-as-a-force-for-good-paperback","provider":"Thoobo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
