Her hands, her work, her money
 
Fostering self-sufficiency through the beauty of handmade crafts 

Refugee women living in Colorado face many challenges, among them the often daunting task of achieving self-sufficiency. By forming a crafts cooperative, these remarkable women are pooling their talents, skills and creativity to earn money for themselves while adding a little beauty to the world.

 
With guidance from a team of volunteers, the women of A Little Something are also learning: 
  • Technical skills
  • Business basics
  • English
  • Math
  • Budgeting
  • Fine motor skills
  • Time management
  • Working in the
    collaborative spirit.
 
 
 
 
The women of A Little Something enjoy making crafts that are as diverse as the group itself, including:
  • Weaving
  • Sewing
  • Crochet
  • Jewelry
  • Beads
  • Knitting

 

  • A Little Something is a crafts cooperative. Proceeds  benefit the participants directly, with 75% of each sale going to the artist, and the other 25% going back into the business to purchase crafting supplies.
  • This nonprofit endeavor is run by a dedicated team of volunteers. If you would like to assist with sorting supplies, working at events, or with any of the administrative tasks it takes to keep the co-op going, please give us a call!
