From Minister Muller's desk
Today marks a significant milestone for our nation and our people. With the launch of "Be Marshallese Buy Marshallese," we are not merely introducing an online marketplace; we are unveiling a platform that embodies the heart, soul, and culture of the Marshall Islands. This is more than commerce—it is a community-driven initiative that connects the world with the rich heritage, craftsmanship, agrifood products, and stories of our artisans.
Our Vision We envision a global stage where the unique talents of Marshallese artisans can shine, and our cultural heritage is celebrated and sustained. Every item purchased through this platform brings with it the spirit of our people, empowering communities, preserving traditions, and fostering a deeper understanding of who we are as Marshallese.
Our Mission At the core of this initiative lies a mission to preserve, empower, and connect. We aim to:
- Preserve our cultural heritage by promoting authentic, handcrafted products and agrifood products that honor the skills passed down through generations.
- Empower our artisans by ensuring fair compensation, creating economic opportunities, and supporting sustainable livelihoods for those who preserve our traditional ways of life.
- Foster meaningful connections between buyers and artisans, transcending borders and fostering cultural exchanges that deepen mutual understanding.
- Promote sustainability through practices that respect our environment, ensuring the long-term well-being of the communities we serve.
This platform stands as a testament to our commitment to cultural preservation, economic empowerment, and sustainability. We invite the global community to join us on this journey to not only purchase Marshallese handicrafts and agrifood products but to embrace the stories, values, and traditions behind each piece.
Together, we will strengthen our communities, celebrate our artisans, and preserve the beauty of Marshallese culture for generations to come.
