Through dignified work and the Word of God, Hand and Cloth offers livelihood and Life to women at-risk in Bangladesh. Old Testament writers used the Hebrew word רפא(rapha) to refer to healing, especially divine healing. More literally, rapha means to sew together or to stitch. And so their name, Hand & Cloth, is an image not only of the creative work women are doing, but also of the creative, healing work God is doing in their lives. As each product is handmade by a woman, their hope is that she would come to know that she is handmade by God.
