One Woman was created from a vision in March of 2015 when Sharla Brown went on a life changing trip to the Amazon Rain forest in Ecuador with WE. Their community project was to build a Choza (a Women’s Empowerment Centre), where women could work together and create handmade items like jewellery, pottery and other items that could then be sold to provide a sustainable income and create a better life for themselves, their families and their community. After days of working with the Quechua women learning their trades and working on the Choza, she realised that all women in this world have the same goals; to have a better life, to give their children a better future, and to make a difference in their communities. Being an entrepreneur herself, she quickly realised that there was an opportunity to better help not only these women, but women from around the globe who have the same goals and dreams. |
