“Mary,
we really appreciate your generous donation to our chapter and were
glad to have the opportunity to support the terrific work you are doing
to support women around the world with Up from the Dust. It was great
to be reminded that women need to think globally now, not just locally.”

Featured Women Artists
Beautiful scarves, delicate floral brooches, and scented sachets. The women of Anatolia, the peninsular region that comprises the greater Asian part of Turkey, are the best masters in their field. Each scarf, sachet, or brooch that you buy is unique and special. This project was originally to help unemployment in big cities through incorporating the unemployed woman into the workforce to make and sell the handiworks traditionally taught to them since childhood. It soon expanded after the discovery of the heritage being lost in the Anatolia region of Turkey, due to the lack of market for their skills. Due to the closed economy policies of the past, the masters of the traditional arts had fallen into economic difficulties for lack of demand. Now, the traditional handicrafts are being recognized as "world heritage." In every product, you will share the cultural riches of many years and find aesthetic differences.
