Our mission at The Stella Projects.


The Stella Projects is a Belle & Sparrows program that, through social enterprise, provides women survivors with the opportunity to learn a trade as a means for income.


We believe earning a livable wage will be the path toward financial independence. We aim to restore dignity and quality of life to women by eliminating barriers to success.

 

We currently teach the artisan skills of embroidered card making to the women we partner with in Guatemala, Haiti and New Mexico. Further support through entrepreneurial training and artisan business kits are provided to the women so they can continue to grow their businesses.


In North Texas, the Candles for Change program creates a positive experience through candle making as the vehicle for providing supplemental income for women. The ability to provide new skill sets, coupled with the opportunity for earned income, instills dignity and directly combats any connections of the past between work and making a living for survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, addiction recovery and more.

 

The Stella Projects not only empowers women to change, but also stands beside them as they succeed.

We provide economic sustainability to women both locally and around the world.
