The women learn the appliqué technique and embroidery stitches as well as recordkeeping and business skills. They receive all of the proceeds of the sales, pay for their supplies (except for donated appliqué fabrics), contribute back to Honduras Threads for its services and train their new members.
Honduras Threads provides initial training in technique and record keeping, the designs, donated fabrics, quality control, logistics, sales and marketing and access to supplies not available in Honduras. In reality, Honduras Threads is a form of micro-finance that provides extensive training and ongoing assistance and training. Our goal is to help the cooperatives achieve sustainability by working with them on production and distribution until they can take over all aspects of their businesses.
