Details for "Net2 NPO Tech with The Community Cloth"

We're so excited for our February NetSquared meetup! Every month our organization meets to learn about a new social initiative, discuss ways to combine technology and social awareness and connect with a great group of Houston-area thought leaders.  This month, we'll be meeting and learning about a new organization in Houston called The Community Cloth, a group dedicated to helping refugee women support their families as they start a new life in the United States.


About The Community Cloth
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.

As a collaborative of several refugee-led and refugee-serving organizations, and their supporters, The Community Cloth supports women who want to create and sell handmade, indigenous arts and crafts such as woven bags,knitted scarves, embroidered linens, baskets, rugs and more. Through producing and selling their wares, the women have an opportunity to express their culture and heritage,learn new skills that will assist them in transitioning to life in the US, and obtain much neededsupplemental income. All profits from sales go directly to the artisans.

The Community Cloth is about a new start. Purchases of Cloth products help refugee women provide for the basic needs of their families as they work to establish new lives in Houston.
