JIWYA x EVERY LIFE WORKS
Every Life Works, based in Ellicott City, MD USA is a non-profit organization that supports sustainable microbusinesses to train and employ young adults with autism to generate wealth through ownership and working side by side with neurotypical adults. JIWYA has collaborated with the organization using original artworks from students at ELW. We embodied the students artworks and curated limited edition tapestries, in JWIYA ethos. These were made at cost and the profit goes to ELW. A branch in our commitment to being a brand with a cause. Go ahead and show some love to the commitment of ELW in employing adults with autism.
