Supporting handcraft makers in emerging markets with Nest

Moody’s Foundation is thrilled to be partnering with Nest, a global nonprofit connecting a community of artisans, retailers, and philanthropies to create a more equitable world. As part of our partnership, we will be investing in our communities by supporting the Nest artisan guild across Central America, Latin and South America, and Southeast Asia.

“We’re so excited about our new partnership with Nest, which unites our shared commitments to financial empowerment and sustainability. Our partnership will empower global artisans with the tools and resources they need to succeed. It will also drive economic growth and promote environmental resilience across emerging markets, reflecting our commitment to investing in our communities.”

We will work together to create a free 3-part masterclass for Nest guild members, which will equip them with the skills they need to scale their businesses. We will also be building a digital resources hub and creating a toolkit on climate resilience in the handworker economy – helping artisans become more sustainable, innovative and adaptable.
