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.

Our Education Fund

We started with a simple idea: lift up at-risk youth. Our Education Fund was born when we realized that young artisans in our jewelry projects needed more than just a job—they needed a future free from the shadows of re-exploitation.

Higher education? It's not a luxury; it's a necessity. A key to unlocking doors, to reshaping communities, to transforming futures. Every time one of these incredible individuals steps into a classroom, they’re not just improving their future—they're laying a foundation for generations to come.

This is where you step in. Each purchase gives back to our artisans, and others in at-risk situations. Since 2017, Hope's Gate has been able to send 19 students to college around the world, and is currently supporting 27.
