Why we do, what we do
Our relationship with our artisans is based on respect and mutual trust. Over the years, we have assisted our craftsmen and women to establish various small businesses, enabling them to become self-employed entrepreneurs.
We believe that the education of young people - our future workers and leaders - holds the most promise for social and economic transformation. This is therefore our priority area in terms of investment.
We subsidize the cost of education, books, and extramural activities of our workers and their children. Many of the students in our afterschool programs are excelling in their studies.
