Gifts with Impact - Jewelery that Sets modern slaves FREE

I'm starting a new blogging category for people like me.

I am, by nature a gift giver. The gifts I enjoy giving most are the ones that have lasting impact and meaning – however I also like to put my gift giving dollars to work whenever possible.

Call it… philanthropic giving with a twist, because NOT ONLY does it bless the gift recipient, it also supports an amazing gift item or service provider.

When you want to say it with jewelry, Nightlight designs couldn’t be a better choice! Not only are their designs unique and gorgeous, they also minister to sexually exploited women and children  in Thailand – a major hub for the sex slave industry.

Read what they have to say about themselves:

“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” Isaiah 9:2

NightLight is an international organization committed to addressing the complex issues surrounding trafficking and prostitution by catalyzing individual and community transformation. NightLight’s vision is to offer intervention to sexually exploited women and children, to enable them to discover their dignity, and to provide a program of holistic transformation, empowering them to live and work in their community.

NightLight’s mission is to build relationships and provide hope, intervention, rescue and assistance to women and children exploited in the sex industry by offering alternative employment, vocational opportunities, life-skills training and physical, emotional and spiritual development to women seeking freedom. NightLight builds support networks internationally to intervene and assist women, men and children whose lives are negatively impacted by the sex industry.

Through NightLight Design, women are making beautiful jewelry from silver, semi-precious stones, pearls and decorative beads.

NightLight Design provides an economic alternative for women who previously had no hope of freedom from their circumstances. When you purchase these products you are securing the freedom of women who have been exploited or were at risk of exploitation in the bars of Bangkok, Thailand.

Women working at NightLight Design:

-Function as managers and designers

-Learn skills in accounting, quality control, inventory and marketing

-Receive medical benefits, a savings plan and annual salary increases based on performance

-Participate in classes offering English and life skills training

NightLight employees are given the opportunity to receive scholarships for continuing education. Their children are born into a safe haven where the risk of exploitation and abuse is greatly reduced.

Every piece of jewelry you purchase provides direct support for one of the artisans. You are helping to break the cycle of abuse by making a lasting difference in a woman’s life, giving her dignity and a meaningful way of supporting herself and her family.

 If you only purchase one piece of jewelry this Christmas season please consider purchasing something from this amazing ministry!
