The weavers depend on basket income to sustain themselves beyond what food they grow as subsistence farmers. They often use the money earned to pay school fees for their children.
The baskets are beautiful!!! I was very pleased with the quality, and especially, the color!!! They made a wonderful display, all 5 together, on a purple covered table outside our shop!!!! Many stopped to admire, and we sold two this morning.

The box of baskets arrived Monday, as you said they would, and the selection is great.

All of our African baskets are verified Fair Trade, because we believe that indigenous people around the world should be compensated fairly for their amazing work.
