Artisan Support is much needed in the countries where we work. A great many families depend on the sale of their artisan products to make vital contributions to their incomes. Weaving, handicrafts and related artisan work are integral parts of the culture and local economic ecosystems. There are very many cooperatives and associations already established with whom we have long-standing relationships.They so often times need and want professional guidance and support with regards to product choice, diversification, financial literacy, marketing, supply chain creation, sales and the like. Social Entrepreneur Corp works with these organizations to help them fill in the missing gaps and provide them with greater opportunities for success in the future.
