Gift Idea: Pottery against Poverty

Gift Idea: Pottery against Poverty

posted by Mighty Staff

We love hearing about young people trying to make a positive impact. Case in point - Nest. A clever, design-savvy non-profit started by 24-year old Rebecca Kousky. It is a nonprofit that funds micro-credit loans to women in developing countries to begin or maintain art- or craft- based businesses. The funds for these loans are produced through the products on the buildanest.com website. Check out the cute kitchenware, we love the signature Nest pottery and the swallow tea cup.

Very cool. I knew about Nest - it had been mentioned on a friends' site for an awesome throw that they have - but had no idea that it was a non-profit, or its' mission.

Jen... This is Rebecca (of Nest) and I love hearing about Nest making it onto blogs! Would you mind sharing where you saw the throw? Thanks :)
