In eastern DR Congo, vulnerable women learn basket weaving to earn income and rebuild their lives. Through hands-on training in traditional "Kikapo" weaving, local mothers gain skills, materials, and support to sell their crafts. Your donation funds training, tools, and market access helping women provide for their families and create lasting change.
In eastern DR Congo, many women face extreme poverty, limited job opportunities, and economic exclusion. Widowed or displaced mothers struggle to provide basic needs like food, education, and healthcare. Without skills training or income sources, families remain trapped in a cycle of poverty, making women's economic empowerment through practical skills more urgent than ever.
This project provides hands-on basket weaving training using traditional "Kikapo" techniques. Women receive materials, mentorship, and business support to create and sell high-quality handmade baskets. By connecting them to local and regional markets, we help them generate sustainable income, build confidence, and support their families with dignity.
As women earn stable incomes through basket weaving, families gain access to food, education, and healthcare. Over time, this strengthens entire communities, reduces poverty, and promotes women's financial independence in DR Congo. Skilled women also train others, creating a ripple effect of economic opportunity and long-term resilience.
