Nomadic women are skilled at embroidery, basket or mat weaving and leatherwork. A small startup loan enables women to purchase materials to produce and sell their handicrafts through their own co-operatives.
We also are actively seeking markets for their work in the US.
The women's co-operative at Iferouane is 40 women who make beautiful leather handbags which are for sale at the Nomad Gallery and online. Click on Boutique
