Mission
We work with Tanzanian women Artisans as they create beautiful, handmade artisan products. We provide a fair wage for their exceptional work, along with unique opportunities which enrich their lives and those of their families (this includes clean water accessible to them and their families, access to tools and equipment for micro-business, school fees and uniforms, and English lessons). Ultimately, after expenses, proceeds from artisan products are invested in US charities which invest in clean water, girls education, and women and children's health. We have no paid employees and though costs for starting up the organization have been higher (with potential for revenue from artisan products uncertain) we endeavor to ensure that we are achieving important social good for the Artisans and the charitable beneficiaries.
Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Highest-paid independent contractors
No independent contractors reported.
Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
