About New Hope Girls

Beautiful bags that help rescue girls and empower women! New Hope Girls is a non-profit based in the Dominican Republic that fights trafficking, abuse, and exploitation. In our workshop, we employ women artisans and pay a living wage in a safe, supportive and healthy environment. It is not just economic empowerment - it is transformational employment. Our fabric sourcing model is sustainable, as we source remnant/deadstock fabric and use it for our beautiful bags! The fabric is upholstery grade - resulting in luxurious finishes and textures. The workshop serves as one of our core prevention strategies because when mother’s are able to earn a living wage in a safe environment the risk for exploitation is greatly reduced. Proceeds from our bag sales are used to support our work rescuing young girls and walking with them in healing and identity restoration. Our average age at intake is 10 years old - it is our honor to walk with them along their healing journey.Read their story
