Crafted by women in our partner center’s restoration programs, each pair is a testament to the transformation of young lives, from despair into strength.

Through their two drop-in centers, these survivors are met with love, counseling, art therapy, and education. Here, they begin to heal, rebuild trust, and discover their own worth. Just as water nourishes the desert, bringing forth life, your purchase helps provide the essential care and opportunities needed for these young women to flourish.

Story

The Water Spring Earrings shares the story of young women in Myanmar who, after the devastating collapse of their country’s economy, society, and justice system, were sold by their mothers in acts of heartbreaking desperation.

Yet, like flowers blooming in the desert, these women have shown extraordinary strength—enduring unimaginable hardship and still finding the courage to blossom. Their rescue and transformation are not without challenges, but they remind us that just as life can spring from dry, barren ground through sand, earth, water, and stone, so too can freedom grow through love, hope, faith, and courage.
