We contribute to cottage industry
Traditional cottage industries and handicrafts continue to play an important role in the economies of many countries, often being the only available means to provide additional employment and raise the standard of living for the community. From groups of village weavers in the Italian hills to roadside potters in the Indian lowlands, we form progressive and meaningful partnerships.
