This has been a bit of a transitional year. We re-branded Made By Survivors Jewelry, as Relevée, which means to rise up, and increased the women at Made By Survivors Jewelry Centers responsibilities. They have risen to the challenge.
We have given the India staff the reigns to design and produce the new styles for this coming holiday season. Wow, have they amazed us! There are over 30 new designs that will be released this holiday season and beyond. The creativity and style are beautiful and trendy. There are some pieces I can't wait to get my hands on. Check out their new jewlery at www.Relevee.com.
In addition to new designs they have also taken responsibility for meeting production and packaging needs. They ladies are running the administrative details like champs and learning new skills that can be transferable to almost any job, should they so choose. Hopefully, they don't though leave us anytime soon.
According to Kelly Services (an employee services organization), in India college graduates employed banks earn on average a monthly salary of about 36,000 rupees. Last month our top earning artisan earned just under 38,000 rupees!!! Over half the women in our program, who have been working for at least 3 years, are earning a wage at least 5 times higher than a person with the same education level! It's YOUR support which makes this all possible!
Thank you for helping the survivors at Made By Survivors Jewelry Centers rise up:
Watch for more growth as these ladies are more than survivors. They are conquerors.
