The Community Cloth is a microenterprise initiative empowering refugee women in Houston. It targets economic, educational and social goals through the provision of seed grants, training and peer support and by expanding market opportunities for refugee women artisans. The Cloth supports women who want to create and sell handmade, indigenous arts and crafts such as woven bags, knitted scarves, embroidered linens, rugs and more. This allows the women to express their culture, learn new skills that will assist them in transitioning to life in the US and obtain much-needed supplemental income. All profits from sales go directly to artisans.
