Project Overview
Hope’s Gate is a compassionate initiative dedicated to empowering orphans, victims of human trafficking, and vulnerable individuals worldwide. By providing vocational training in jewelry-making and facilitating access to education, Hope’s Gate enables participants to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
Programs and Activities
- Jewelry-Making Training: Hope’s Gate collaborates with shelters and safe houses across India, Uganda, and parts of the Middle East to offer jewelry-making workshops. Participants receive fair wages for their creations, fostering financial independence and reducing susceptibility to exploitation.
- Retail Outreach: In 2016, Hope’s Gate opened a store near downtown Wylie, Texas, to showcase and sell handcrafted jewelry. This venture not only generates funds but also raises awareness about global human trafficking and exploitation. In 2020, the store expanded to a larger downtown location, enhancing community engagement.
- Educational Support: Recognizing the transformative power of education, Hope’s Gate established an education fund in 2017. This fund provides scholarships to artisans, enabling them to pursue higher education and break the cycle of poverty. In 2018, seventeen students received full scholarships for college education.
