WHOLESALE TEXTILES

Very strange indeed ... I am going to send you to another site to buy some wholesale products! No, this is not some kind of affiliate gimmick. The Emancipation Network fights human trafficking, mostly in Asia. I have known the founders of the organization for about a year and have been very impressed with their work and committment. One of their main tools to fight trafficking, sustain their organizaiton and help the girls and women they work with is trade.

The Emancipation Network (TEN) manages a business called "Made by Survivors". They help establish coop workshops where victims of the human trafficking industry learn skills and earn a living. They operate out of locations including Nepal, India, Thailand and Cambodia. They make some beautiful products! Though we explored the possibility of selling their products directly on wholesalegemshop.com, we decided it would be much more effective to send my customers directly to Made By Survivors. This will allow you to get a better price and help them build their customer base.

The reason I have dedicated this page to promoting the Made By Survivors brand, besides the fact that I want them to be successful and belive in the cuase, is that I know how hard it is to find reputable, honest suppliers as a retailer. I know that the trust my customers have built with me is meaningful and those of you who visit us regularly know that I take quality and mission very seiously. In not uncertain terms I want to communicate to you that you can trust Made By Survivors to deliver you a quality product, be true to their mission and provide outstanding service.

Why is TEN's work so important? 27 million people are enslaved around the world including in the U.S. This is more than at any other time in history.

With T.E.N. Charities you can help in various ways and become involved in the struggle to end slavery. We can give you the tools & support you need to mobilize your friends & your community.The problem is severe, but there is hope. Survivors & anti-trafficking organizations around the world have created their own Underground Railroad to rescue others, & to prevent trafficking through education, border prevention programs, as well as economic empowerment for those at the highest risk.

The Emancipation Network (T.E.N.) was founded to provide immediate help to survivors, high risk women, & anti-trafficking agencies, & also to be part of creating a critical mass of abolitionists in the US who can participate in efforts to eradicate slavery once and for all.

The Emancipation Network (T.E.N.) helps survivors of human trafficking, and women and girls at high risk for being trafficked, by offering them a means for self-sufficiency and an economic alternative to further exploitation.

They partner with anti-trafficking organizations & women’s craft collectives around the world, including Thailand, Cambodia, The Philippines, Nepal, India, Africa, the United States & Eastern Europe. Helping these groups with education, prevention programs,after care of survivors and job training.

Take a minute and go to the Made By Survivors Website and you can see their online catalog. I have seen their products and they are very nice and have character, VERY differen than the crap made in China. Which in many cases are made by exploited workers. My impression was 2-2.5 time markup on their wholesale price was easily attainable.

The website requires you to register before making a purchase. I am very sensitive to all issues checkout related! Because I know when you are shopping for your business often time is of the essence. So to help you speed along your decision making I have posted a sample catalog with prices so you can gauge the appropriateness for your business. If you like what you see take a minute and visit the Made By Survivors Website, register and start giving them some orders :)
