Empowering Families to Thrive

 

At World Orphans, our economic empowerment program creates a space for artisans to contribute by using their God-given talents and abilities. We believe that building stronger families and improving quality of life begins with recognizing that every person is created with purpose, value, and possesses intrinsic dignity.

By purchasing a one-of-a-kind handmade item from the World Orphans Market, you are helping preserve families, keep children out of orphanages, and empowering families to thrive.

Handcrafted Leather Goods

 

Pastor Nicolas Tellez grew up learning from his father how to make shoes and leather goods as a little boy in a small town of Nicaragua. After meeting his wife, Adela, and settling down in inner city Guatemala City, they planted a church together. In order to supplement their income, they make beautiful handmade leather good of all sorts.  If you can imagine it, he can make it!  In fact, several members of the Tellz family participate in making these gorgeous products. They are eager to share their knowledge and experience in working leather with the women they serve in their communities. The women in the Zone 18 sewing cooperative are learning to sew leather and produce leather purses, belts, aprons, computer cases, and many more leather products. The Tellez family is a family who is sold out for Christ in all they do.  They are selfless people, eager to serve the many needs in their community without reservations.
