Project Três

Project Três supports women artisans through education and skills-training in India and Kenya. We believe that providing education on fair trade and self-sustainability is the key to create new life-changing economic and social opportunities.
70% of the artisans in India have learned handcraft skills inside the Project, which allowed them to have a new source of income. The women who already had skills before joining us would charge at least 60% less than what they are paid now, for the same work.
All of them have acquired two or three new skills since the beginning of our work. Besides handicraft skills, they also learned about quality control, color combinations, pricing, and sales management.
As you already know about the women who make our products and our efforts to support them through education, we want to take a few steps back and show you how our products’ journey began. When Project Três started in 2016, the priority was to create new economic opportunities for our women and to cover their basic needs. Once we could provide them a safe environment, food, healthcare, and education we were able to evolve and implement more sustainable practices across the whole chain.

The material choice has a big impact across the supply chain as it can decide for up to 95% of a product’s environmental impact. We’ve made significant gains towards sustainability over the last four years as we continue to reduce our environmental footprint.
We try to be as sustainable and responsible as possible. However, there is still a long way to go. For us at Project Três, sustainability isn’t a label or a trend, it’s a journey that we would like to share with you.
