Money in Your Hands Project
Transforming artistry into economic prosperity
Our mission is to empower artisans and small businesses to unlock their full potential and pave their own path to success. We aim to foster economic independence, nurture self-confidence, and ignite a sense of purpose. Join us as we demonstrate the transformative power of God's blessings in our hands.
Our Story
Our inspiration began on a mission trip to Mexico. During this trip, our founder, Doris Lebby, shared a powerful message with a woman in need: 'Your money is in your hands.' The woman began to speak about her gifts of sewing, cooking, and crafting.
This encounter ignited our mission to encourage people to harness the power of their gifts, talents, and skills to transform their lives. Through the Money in Your Hands Project we empower artisans and small businesses, helping them unlock their potential and overcome financial obstacles.
