Hola! Hello!
​​Hi, my name is Zoe and I want to share my story with you. My idea is to empower other young women with the same passion for innovation, and value-based social impact, to hopefully become the next generation of leaders. I am a freshman in College and starting to learn about policy, government, global economy and other interesting topics.
Zoe Initiative, was born from my desire to help young children in rural Colombia with educational tools and supplies. My Mother has shared stories of growing up in Colombia with very limited resources and that moved me to do something about it --- My mom AKA "The Queen" has become an inspiration to me and others to take bold steps toward making a difference in our lives.
The Zoe Initiative is a movement that empowers me to have an impact by donating funds, supplies and sharing tools for learning. I believe that education is fundamental and creates a lasting impact in these future adults and therefore their communities, and most important I view it as a critical tool for developing one's rational mind.

What is the initiative?
We partner with artisans and families from local communities, especially those in underserved or economically challenged regions. Seek out handmade, unique, or culturally significant products. We ensure that the artisans are paid fairly for their work and a portion of the sales is reinvested into local community projects for education.
​
I would like to invite you to participate in my initiative to help these children and the artisans and families that make these products. Please connect with me.
I was very surprised to receive some thank you letters and of course the pictures of the kids enjoying the school supplies. Education is not only teaching - it is also providing the means to learn.
We invite all talented artisans and women who craft beautiful products to join us and share their creations with the world! Whether you specialize in handmade jewelry, textiles, pottery, or any other craft, we would love to see your work and give you a platform to showcase it.
If you also know of a community project to empower others through your craft, we would love to hear about it! Your efforts are truly inspiring, and we'd be thrilled to support and help promote your mission.
Join us in celebrating the incredible work that women artisans are doing, and let's come together to inspire, share, and uplift one another but most importantly let's invest in education for our children!
