Impact of Income & Education



*SELF CONFIDENCE IMPROVES "Everybody said, "She's nobody." Today, she feels she is somebody. She can do things. She can take care of herself and her family."
*DOMESTIC VIOLENCE MAY DECREASE "as women earn money and become more confident, they get more respect. Domestic violence can be reduced."
*FAMILY PLANNING INCREASES Women who have bank accounts are twice as likely as the national average to use family planning practices. "When people start making their own decisions about life, they also start making decisions about the size of their families."
*BIRTH RATES DROP "everywhere, economic stability is the major factor that lowers birth rates. If extreme poverty is alleviated, families don't need so many children to earn money."
*INFANT & MATERNAL MORTALITY ARE REDUCED as education increases.
*NUTRITION, HEALTH, and LIFE EXPECTANCY ARE ENHANCED
*HOUSING AND SANITATION GET BETTER
*GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTS GROWS

You go Annie O!

I love the idea of slow accessories that allow you to connect with an artisan, not just a factory or brand.
