Have you ever wondered whose hands made those souvenirs in Kathmandu tourist shops? Do you want to buy responsibly and empower local Nepalese women? Come visit our workshop and take a craft class! Learn to make unique, local Nepalese crafts; our local artisan women will teach you first hand and leave Nepal with a unique craft piece. With this class you know you've empowered local women!
We are 50 local women in Kathmandu who own our workshop and make handmade, fair trade authentic Nepalese crafts and textiles. We focus on empowering, employing and educating women who have survived childhood forced labor, abandonment, and abusive marriages. We make clothing, accessories and Nepalese handicrafts on an exclusively eco-friendly and sustainable basis, using all natural resources and recycled materials. Your purchase of a single craft class aids all of the beautiful Nepalese women survivors involved in this project to rebuild and strengthen their lives. During the class our local artisan women will teach you how to make your own souvenir at our workshop. You will learn the ancient techniques of garment and handicraft making from Nepalese women artisans. You will also learn how to stop child labor and how to uplift disadvantaged women. You will leave with a souvenir that you made in our workshop and the experience of a lifetime!
