Mother’s Day Gifts: The Anchal Project

 Today I’m partnering with the sweetest company, The Anchal Project to share a few unique gift ideas that are PERFECT for Mother’s Day! If you’re a little behind the ball, Mother’s Day is May 8th. Luckily, you still have time to shop for your wonderful mom / mother-in-law.

 These are some of the most special gifts I have shared to date on Lex What Wear, and that’s all because of the story behind their making. You can stock up on a number of accessories from scarves to bags, as well as home goods like quilts and pillows. I’ve found the perfect Mother’s day gift y’all, and it allows you to give back.

When I first read about Anchal I was amazed and empowered to join a mission that stands to better so many lives. So let’s get right to it: Anchal’s mission is to address the exploitation of women around the world by using design thinking to create employment opportunities, services, and products that support empowerment.

This project is making a HUGE impact and is changing lives rapidly. If you think about it closely, we are all part of the solution and can be a part of the solution in many ways. You can read some of the stories of the Artisans HERE where they share their brave stories when the artisans share their brave stories of empowerment and the collective quantitative growth.

Anchal’s program proves that when we systematically address women’s inequality with holistic employment and education opportunities, we can instigate women, families and entire communities to lead healthy, financially independent lives.

“We can spend more money on our families now. Whether we want to send our kids to private school, invest in property or buy groceries – we can do it. We can do anything now.”  – Anita

ANCHAL HAS TRAINED & EMPLOYED OVER 150 WOMEN TO DATE.

ANCHAL CURRENTLY EMPLOYS 77 ARTISANS, 5 PROJECT ASSISTANTS.
