Our Vision
Shal’s Treasurez vision was ignited after the founder, Shalini, traveled multiple times to Haiti and India working with Human Trafficked survivors, domestic violence survivors, and orphans. She also witnessed poverty on a level she had never seen before. She met many resilient women who just needed someone to believe in them and give them an opportunity to better their lives. These women were not afraid of hard work and were willing to learn new skills, all they needed was someone to show them a way to improve their situations. Shal’s Treasurez was born as Shalini saw a greater purpose for her life which went beyond just counseling, encouraging and empowering these women with words. She saw a means to secure a future for them as well. Shalini used her 30 plus years working in the Corporate world as an Accountant and Auditor to develop this vision and platform.
Mother Teresa said, “If you want to end world hunger, feed one person.” We cannot help every woman but we can help as many as we can, and we will. Here at Shal’s Treasurez we want to actively teach, train, empower, and free women who are either survivors of violence or are living in extreme poverty. We want to provide them with a means to earn a living and be able to survive on their own merit. We want to create women business owners. We want to provide them with a means to sell their handmade products. We want to encourage their creativity.
These women have endured a lot and are continuing to endure. As Shal’s Treasurez teaches, trains and introduces them to the world, we would love it if you, as our customers, help us in this journey by encouraging these women by purchasing the products they create. Together we can show them that they are capable of creating beautiful things and their creations are appreciated. They are no longer a captive of their circumstances but are now free. We at Shal’s Treasurez believe in these women, their resilience and their ability to create beauty out of the ashes of their past.
Thank you for joining us in this journey!
Personal Note from Shalini
Welcome to Shal’s Treasurez my friends!
Shalini Singh
Founder
I wanted to share a little bit about myself so that you can understand why I am so driven and passionate about helping Human Trafficking survivors, Domestic Violence survivors and women who don’t think they can stand on their own two feet and escape their situations. I am a domestic violence survivor. I have been where a lot of these women have either been or are currently dealing with. So I understand them very well. Abuse comes in so many different forms, it is not always physical. Physical abuse wounds heal within days or weeks but emotional and verbal abuse remains with us for a very long time. A lifetime if we don’t get help and heal. Even though I was free from my situation I was very broken. Mentally and emotionally broken. No self confidence or self esteem. Any word of encouragement or support helped but didn’t completely heal. It was when I started to live by myself, financially support myself, and start to become independent, then the true healing began. Because all the dignity that I had lost in my abusive situation was slowly returning to me. I started to recognize my strengths and not focus so much on my weaknesses. I started to realize my worth. This is what I want any woman, who has survived a violent abusive situation, to know that you are worth so much more than what your abuser told you. This is what I am trying to instill in the women I meet and whose creative ideas Shal’s Treasurez will be supporting. When you purchase a product from Shal’s Treasurez you are becoming a part of this journey to help these women learn to support themselves and their families. You are playing a huge part in their healing and their journey to get their dignity back and realize their worth.
Thank you so much for your support!
