When Missions Align: How Tying Vines and Work of Worth Are Transforming Lives Through Faith and Fair Trade

When two missions align, transformation happens.

In 2021, Tying Vines, Inc., a growing nonprofit Christian organization serving vulnerable communities around the world, came together with Work of Worth International, a social enterprise connecting artisans in developing regions to the global marketplace. What began as two separate visions united into one powerful purpose: to bring hope, dignity, and opportunity to people in need.

A Shared Mission for Transformation

Tying Vines began in 2011 as a small group of friends with a big dream, to provide aid and hope to the world’s most vulnerable. What started with just a few local projects has grown into a thriving global network focused on sustainable community development.

Today, Tying Vines supports programs that meet physical, social, economic, and spiritual needs through initiatives such as:

  • Care for orphans and widows

  • Healthcare for the sick and displaced

  • Trauma counseling for those fleeing war and crisis

  • Education and vocational training for long-term self-sufficiency

  • Small-business development that builds stability and growth

Rooted in faith and compassion, Tying Vines works to restore dignity and provide tangible help and hope where it’s needed most.

Expanding Opportunity Through Work of Worth

The acquisition of Work of Worth International in 2021 was a natural next step. Work of Worth, known for its commitment to ethical trade and artisan empowerment, perfectly complements Tying Vines’ mission. Together, they form a holistic model, combining humanitarian outreach with sustainable, dignified employment.

As Work of Worth relaunches under the Tying Vines umbrella, the focus remains the same: to empower artisans, strengthen families, and grow healthy communities through the global marketplace. Shoppers can look forward to new fair trade products from multiple countries, each piece handmade by artisans who are rebuilding their lives through creativity and skill.

Shopping That Changes Lives

When you shop at WorkofWorth.org, you’re doing more than finding something beautiful, you’re helping someone build a future. Every purchase supports job creation, preserves traditional craftsmanship, and uplifts entire communities around the world.

Together, Tying Vines and Work of Worth are creating meaningful impact, one artisan, one product, one story at a time.
