To-go Ware visits WEAVE: Every product has a story
WEAVE products are increasingly becoming internationally recognized because of partnerships forged with socially and environmentally conscious companies like To-Go Ware. Their mission is to make innovative, reusable and environmentally conscious products that provide solutions and inspire communities around the world to participate in the process of change. Inspired by WEAVE’s mission to empower refugee women from Burma through income generation initiatives, To-Go Ware continually provides their support by purchasing and marketing WEAVE’s high quality handicrafts. By recognizing WEAVE’s vision to foster self-reliance among women through economic empowerment (click here to learn more) , To-Go Ware has helped to bring awareness to the issues affecting displaced women and their children living at the Thai-Burma borders.
To gain a better understanding about the journey and the story behind each of WEAVE’s products, To-Go Ware’s founder, Stephanie Bernstein, visited the artisans who live at the refugee camps, crafting each utensil holder and becoming a part of global change. Watch the video as she connects with the women and brings inspiration and meaning to their crafts.

Hi. just want to say I loved the video and I love what WEAVE do. I was moved to tears! What you do for the environemnt, for women and refugees is so important. Keep up the great work. I want to be more involved/supportive. I am from Australia, involved in human rights stuff - especially housing. I am not sure how I can be supportive, but I am interested in exploring this. In solidarity with all the women involved, Michelle
