As a change agent, I am fighting systemic poverty by leveling the playing field by providing small grass root entities with the necessary business resources to globalize their product’s exposure. THE MUSTARD SEED WORKSHOP, is a social enterprise, operating as an online retailer, serving 9 economically disadvantaged communities such as former sex workers, victims of human trafficking, HIV victims, and displaced refugees to help them showcase their handmade items to the global community.
