MAYA Collection
Maya Collection was founded in 2009 with a goal to share the love of Jesus with refugee women while giving them a space to learn skills and generate income. We are a faith-based non-profit cooperative of gifted, refugee artisans who hand make a variety of products including purses, bags and jewelry while also being mentored, trained and empowered to become confident and filled with hope for their future.
Our staff and volunteers give countless hours to share God’s love with refugee women who struggle to learn English, find a community of hope and understand a new culture. Weekly meetings for women and teens include learning, crafting and building community. Our goal is to help our artisans know they are loved, they are valued and they are gifted by God.
Lotus Collection
Lotus Collection is our youth branch of Maya Collection that meets weekly with local refugee and immigrant teens. The teens are mentored by a dedicated team of volunteers who share love and encouragement. Lotus teens are taught jewelry and crafting 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. The goal is to provide a safe space for the girls to build relationships, learn about God’s love and be empowered to reach their dreams.
