Mission

Nest is a nonprofit organization that empowers female artists and artisans around the world. Using a unique combination of interest-free microfinance loans, mentoring from established designers, as well as a market in which to sell their crafts, Nest helps its loan recipients create successful small businesses. Nest instills pride of ownership, preserves ancient artistic traditions and successfully moves women from poverty to self-sufficiency.

Nest is proud to have you come along as we partner with the Pujols Family Foundation to launch our newest loan program in the Dominican Republic community of Batey Aleman. This summer, Nest will provide training in business, finance and budgeting, setup a sewing workshop, offer design advice and implement our unique microbartering support system that will give each participant income-generating opportunities.
