Meet Some of Our Artisans

Our relationship with our artisans is important to us. We restore hope the moment we begin designing with them all the way to when you receive your pieces of art, making each item more than just a product, but a story of hope and restoration. These stories tell of how the Lord has moved in their lives and provided in countless ways.

Edgar

Edgar’s childhood dream wasn’t that of being an artisan. Rather, he studied to become engineer. But a series of life events—and a newfound faith in Jesus—moved Edgar to consider painting as more than a hobby and he now uses his passion to help newly freed men face the challenge of reintegration into society. Through his prison ministry, Edgar spends quality time with these men by teaching them valuable wood-working skills and sharing the Gospel with them.

Nelly y familia

Nelly

Nelly remembers when she first learned about the value of hand-crafted beauty. Her father passed away, and she and her mother made small worry dolls to sell in the mercado so the family could have food and a safe place to call home.

Now, Nelly and her family employ over 150 artisan families to ensure those families also have the essentials of life. Nelly and her family share the same vision as Orphan Outreach Marketplace in restoring hope.
