The Founding Story
To truly understand The Blessing Basket Project, you need to know more about our founder Theresa Carrington. She considers herself an ordinary person, who on an ordinary day decided to ensure good really can come from a bad situation.
MISSION | NONPROFIT | WAGES |
The Blessing Basket Project reduces poverty in developing countries by using their unique Prosperity Wages model to pay for artisan products. This exclusive patent pending financial model creates a cycle of entrepreneur driven growth resulting in permanent financial independence for the artisan. | The Blessing Basket Project is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization that belives the rural poor in developing countries are quite capable of pulling themselves out of poverty. They use a financial model in which they have been perfecting for more than a decade. The exclusive model allows artisans to earn significantly higher than fair trade wages for their products for a given period of time. | With every basket purchased, The Blessing Basket Project Prosperity Wages model is being used to pay their artisans. This portion of the profit is significantly higher than fair trade wages, in some countries reaching more than six times fair trade. For more information on Prosperity Wages click the button below. |
