Experience the real makings of handmade fair trade products as you work with a unique social enterprise - Seven Women - that has changed the lives of over 5,000 disadvantaged women in Nepal.
Your tour will start with a visit to the Seven Women headquarters in Kathmandu, where you will meet some of the women of the organization and hear the stories of how this social enterprise has made such a massive difference in Nepal. You will learn about how it all started and how it has grown from 7 to more than 5,000 women.
During this workshop, you will make a felt ball keyring by hand. You’ll have a producer assist you as you create and gain a better appreciation for the work that goes into creating handmade items. Alongside this, you’ll learn about the principles of fair trade and how fair trade products are made. After the workshop, you’ll get to visit the Seven Women fair trade gift shop to see the whole range of handmade crafts produced by the women, which are then exported to support the enterprise. You’ll also get to take home the personal souvenirs you made during the workshop.
