Education Scholarships

We have a scholarship fund that specifically targets our artisan community. 65% of our artisans dropped out of school due to lack of school fees. They are willing to go to school and complete their basic studies while others want to improve their studies in their areas of expertise. Giving towards the education fund will help transform and grow many workshops.

Sponsor a Training

We are continually training our artisan groups in several cardinal areas that will compliment their craft business. The knowledge they receive through these trainings have proven to be successful. However as we continue to reach more artisans , we require resources to be able to train them. This Trainings have been adopted from Women in Informal Employment , Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO).
