BraveWorks (formerly Fashion & Compassion)

Services for women are available in Charlotte, NC. In 10 different nations, we also collaborate with artisans. We educate local women how to make jewelry and other handmade works. These products provide additional income to the women as well as an income source for the charity. Our non-profit partners send artisans to women who need help in escaping human trafficking and assault, addiction, imprisonment, generational poverty, or ethnic persecution.

The boutique reviews are uniformly positive with concerted emphasis on the organization's uplifting and empowering environment. Most clients express their delight in the exquisite jewelry and artistry sold, a selection that is ethical and affordable. Clientele fully support the leadership's mission and portray it as a rewarding experience. Repeat customer assures the need to support the organization and plan on going back; they say it’s not possible to find this degree of satisfaction elsewhere. Another client appreciates the location of the house where the boutique is, more informal and more connected to the mission. Association is essential because people are looking to cheer up the women who are victims.
