Products
The products we offer are created by village artisans using their crafts and skills learned over many generations. Artisans generally create a cooperative and are trained on leadership and community skills.
The group decides on how they will work together not only for the benefit of the individuals but also for the community. Many groups pool some of the income for local projects such as the development of a well, school or medical facility.
