It all begins with an idea.
Tammy and Charles met in 2019 at the US based Jewelry Industry Summit, an initiative bringing like-minded individuals and organizations together to help promote a sustainable and responsible industry. Connecting with their shared passion for creating opportunity and change, and their shared philanthropic experiences, in January 2022 they began to work together and Treasured International as we know it was born. There is a driving ethos behind Treasured built on creating more opportunity through education. With all of their deep community ties along the jewelry supply chain internationally as field geologist and gemologists, they knew they could bridge the gap to bring education where it was needed most. Treasured is proud to be working towards the following goals:
To build schools and provide access to education for children everywhere.
To create a well-rounded curriculum that infuses entrepreneurship, builds life skills, and helps kids thrive beyond the classroom.
To create awareness which will empower the general public to act as agents of change.
To create a collaborative network to create the biggest impact possible.
Goal #1: To build schools and provide access for children everywhere.
This goal will be achieved through the facilitation of mission based projects aimed at creating a more responsible and sustainable industry. Treasured will act on this goal in three ways:
Create and complete education projects developed in-house.
Assist and fund external projects that require significant support to achieve success.
Provide support through promotion and awareness for established/already well funded schools and projects.
Goal #2: To create a well-rounded curriculum that infuses entrepreneurship, builds life skills, and helps kids thrive beyond the classroom.
Goal #3: To create awareness which will empower the general public to act as agents of change.
Goal #4: To create a collaborative network to create the biggest impact possible.
Treasured will bring people together through online groups, and events such networking events and fundraisers. It will host online forums and actively engage its community to create crowd sourced solutions to education problems. This will encourage innovative means to create a better future for the next generation.
