NATION OF DOLLS

Keeping in line with it’s mission to support mothers and children around the world, SemSem has partnered with Nation of Dolls, a doll-making company in the Philippines. The company was started by Eusebia, a Filipino- American nurse, who was inspired to make her first doll for one of her patients in the pediatric unit. After seeing how much joy the doll brought to her young patient, Eusebia decided to continue making dolls for her community. Eusebia returned to the Philippines after retiring and witnessed the local poverty, which motivated her to start Nation of Dolls. Nation of Dolls not only offers jobs to local Filipinos, but workshops and classes focused on literacy, health, and self-esteem.
