The five women artisans of Warmi Llancashan work together to create knitted and crocheted products. These women belong to the Good News Evangelical Church in the shantytown called, interestingly enough, "Development-Bound". The town's name speaks volumes about what people want: basic social and economic development. For years, the women have met regularly to help each other in the production of handicrafts to supplement their income. Through the Joining Hands Network member organization  Fraternidad Cristiana Vida, they became acquainted with the Bridge of Hope, and began handicraft design and production.  

The project provides a place where the women can practice Christian solidarity and share one another's burdens. Because of the unity they feel with their community, one of their goals is to inspire other impoverished women in their neighborhood to organize their own artisan groups.
