How can a single bracelet cause change? How can a bracelet impact a person's life? Etkie holds the hint of an answer - invest in the makers, invest in the design, invest in the love that goes into the act of creating.
Etkie is a jewelry company committed to the financial and social empowerment of Native American women in New Mexico. They work with women who lack access to capital and who would not be able to produce jewelry without Etkie. These individuals are at risk women - women with their own identities, but Etkie helps them develop their small businesses and empower women to gain financial independence. You can watch the video below for a brief overview of Etkie.
