Nozomi, translated 'hope' in Japanese, is a social enterprise striving to bring sustainable income, community, dignity and hope to the women in Ishinomaki, Japan by training women to craft unique jewelry products.
Nozomi women are creating one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry featuring broken pieces of pottery left in the wake of the tsunami (called the Shards of Hope product line), as well as other beautiful products such as kimono accessories and note cards. Image Credit: Nozomi Project
