WOMEN'S CO-OPS

ONGOING PROJECTS

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 new TAMSENA CENTER FOR NOMADIC LIFE will provide a hub for delivery, sales and training to improve quality of nomadic products.
