Meet one of our Artisans in Uganda

Joseph is an orphan who grew up with his Aunt until a local children’s home picked him up. With the help of the home, Joseph completed secondary school and university where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Fine Art and Design. 

After graduation, he immediately started to practice the tailoring skills he acquired at school. His local community were his first customers and, as time went by, his customer base increased. He then purchased a bigger space for his workshop, which is located in Jinja, Uganda.

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.
