MAYA Collection

Maya Collection is a non-profit ministry that inspires and equips refugee and international women to use their God-given talents to thrive as artisans in their local community. Through neighborhood outreach, we provide encouragement, training, mentoring and employment opportunities for women and teens.

One of a Kind Designs

Due to the unique way in which our ministry sources fabric and utilizes donated sample pieces, many of our purses and bags are the only one of it’s kind, making each piece completely unique. Each bag is handmade in our South Louisville Studio by local refugee and international women.

Assorted patterned fabric pouches arranged on a wooden surface.

Creating opportunities for local refugee and international women

Each piece of jewelry is made by hand by one of our artisans. Each week artisans learn new skill sets that enable them to earn income and be in community with other refugee and international women.

Empowering teen girls through Lotus Collection

Lotus Collection is our teen branch of Maya Collection that meets weekly with our team of mentors and volunteers who share love and encouragement with them. Lotus teens are taught jewelry-making skills so they can provide extra income for their families. They are taught prevention and safety awareness as well as how to set goals for their future where they are encouraged to reach their dreams!
