We employ Azeri speaking women in the Republic of Georgia with the goal of providing new skills, making new creations, and seeing new life for them. Our ladies work part time for Teze so they can not only help their families financially but also be present in the home to care for their families. The alternative is to work long hours in a factory, a greenhouse or another country, leaving children and aging parents to fend for themselves while they're gone. Our ladies can either work in the Teze workspace three mornings a week and be home to make lunch for their families (the big meal of the day), or come to the workspace for supplies and then do the work at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLocated in the Republic of Georgia, just west of the Azerbaijani border, the majority of our artisans speak the Azerbaijani language.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTeze means \"new\" in Azerbaijani.
