| A livelihood project amongst the urban poor women of Manila | ||||||||||||||||||
| We, the members of Kamay Krafts Multi-Purpose Cooperative, take pleasure in presenting to you quality handcrafted items. We are sure you will have great pleasure in giving, using or seeing them displayed around your home. | ||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||
| This is a business with a difference. That is, the people who are crafting these items are the owners of the business as well. We are a group of about 100 women from depressed areas of Manila (The Philippines) who have come together, pooled our resources and in so doing earn a living. In normal businesses a few get rich while the majority stay entrapped in poverty. By a system of profit sharing we are able to lift our standard of living so that we are not always living in debt. | ||||||||||||||||||
|
We work from our homes. This means that there is minimal disruption to the family needs and routines. Our cooperative is entirely self-supporting and we are not looking for donations. We only ask that you include us in your thinking and view our products as an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of your underprivileged cousins. |
