Women are empowered through work

Have you ever heard the saying, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; But teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime"? The Collective Thread was founded on that idea. It's our goal to strengthen marginalized communities through education and employment opportunities.

Our facilities in the US and abroad support local economies and help women out of poverty through employment.
