Children's Education Sponsorship
Education is recognized as a key factor in helping children move beyond poverty. It improves a child’s income-earning potential later in life. But the fact remains, poverty itself often prevents children from staying at school.
Working with Creative Handicrafts helps women stabilize the economic situation of their families. This creates a platform for the next generation to move ahead. The women’s children go on to study for longer and at higher levels which enables them to help their families out of the cycle of poverty.
This is the backdrop to Creative Handicrafts' education sponsorship program. It’s an opportunity for you to invest in the next generation, ensuring they have better economic opportunities than their parents.

Sewing Training Sponsorship
Since its inception, Creative Handicrafts has focused on taking unskilled women into its fold. Initially, women were trained to make soft toys. After moving to the production of more complex garments and accessories in 2001, a high-quality training programme became essential to the success of the Cooperative groups.
Women learn to sew so they can join a Cooperative, which opens the door to a stable income. It also helps set up the next generation for success. The economic stability drastically improves their children's educational prospects.
Around 60 women are trained every year. Creative Handicrafts is constantly looking for opportunities to include more women in training.
