    Nest is a 501 (C) (3) nonprofit that empowers women artisans to emerge from poverty through a unique combination of interest-free microloans, mentoring from established designers, and a market in which to sell their craft. By promoting self-reliance, Nest helps its loan recipients to create successful small businesses that allow them to support their children and their families, thereby instilling pride and encouraging community-wide change.
