Description: Nozomi, which means 'hope' in Japanese, is a social enterprise bringing sustainable income, community, dignity and hope to the women in Ishinomaki, Japan, by training them to craft high-quality jewellery products. Nozomi women are creating one-of-a-kind pieces of jewellery featuring broken pieces of pottery left in the wake of the tsunami and other up-cycled pottery.
