The Story of Hope's Gate

Hope’s Gate was founded in 2011 after Patty Bauman traveled to India and witnessed the heartbreaking realities faced by orphans, street children, and survivors of human trafficking. Moved to act, she partnered with shelters and safe houses, launching a jewelry initiative to create sustainable change.

What began with humble materials has grown into a powerful mission—empowering vulnerable individuals through skill development, dignified work, and the creation of beautiful, handcrafted products. Every piece tells a story of hope, resilience, and transformation.
