Manos Esforzadas is a ministry of FMSC food partner Buckner International, a global non-profit organization dedicated to transforming and restoring the lives of the people they serve. Manos Esforzadas began with a dream of seeing vulnerable communities - where women struggle to find employment - move forward, develop, empower themselves, and be agents of their own change. The program now employs 13 women who create beautiful, handmade items for the FMSC MarketPlace. These artisans receive a fair wage that helps them provide for their families' everyday needs.
