Marisa creating baskets with the artisans of Azizi Life in Rwanda

Empowering People

Marisa Director/Founder learning to weave a basket in Rwanda with Azizi Life

Join me in changing lives around the world by purchasing beautiful handmade products made by ministries who are empowering artisans with jobs so they can provide for their families.

Love Transforms: The Marketplace is a nonprofit Christian fair trade store from Mooresville North Carolina that partners with ministries around the world who are loving people and giving them dignified work.

Love Empowers: Each product represents a life changing journey from hopelessness to empowerment; from being lost to experiencing the love of Jesus.

Love Changes Lives: The Marketplace specializes in the custom experience. Let me be your personal shopper and gift curator. Learn the stories behind who made your products. Give gifts that not only will your person love, but that also helps others.

Together, we can change lives around the world.
