MAYA Collection

Maya Collection is a Christian nonprofit ministry and social enterprise founded in 2009 in Louisville, Kentucky. Our mission is to share the love of Jesus Christ by inspiring, equipping, and supporting refugee and immigrant women and teens as they discover and develop their God-given talents.

One of a Kind Designs

Due to the unique way in which our ministry sources fabric and utilizes donated sample pieces, many of our purses and bags are the only one of it’s kind, making each piece completely unique. Each bag is handmade in our South Louisville Studio by local refugee and international women.

Assorted patterned fabric pouches arranged on a wooden surface.

Creating opportunities for local refugee and international women

Each piece of jewelry is assembled by one of our artisans. This enables them to earn income, support their families, and be in community with other refugee and international women.

Our Lotus girls meet with our leaders regularly for mentorship, Bible studies, safety education, and vocational skill training through jewelry-making. Through intentional relationships and faith-centered guidance, Lotus aims to create a safe and supportive environment where teens can learn about God’s love, build confidence, and pursue hopeful futures.
