Meet Molli she oversees our silk pom pom production. Prior to partnering with ARTISANS OF IQ Molli could not read and write and lived in deplorable conditions as she struggled to feed her family. She and her household lived in a deteriorating sheet metal & wooden home that did not have a bathroom and relieved themselves in the woods at night. After beginning work with ARTISANS OF IQ and extensive training to make pom poms, Molli’s life made 180-degree turn. She is now highly skilled in this area, providing a decent living for her family and has been going to school to educate herself. We are very proud of Molli and all her accomplishments; she has since built new home and is an inspiration to the other women in her village.
(Known as the pom pom queen)
