Handi craft of Nepal

Nepali Craft Trading
Nepali Craft Trading is the export arm of the Association of Craft Producers (ACP), a non-profit organization which has been working across Nepal for over 15 years, and now provides approximately 850 Nepali artisans, 85% women, with marketing and management support and technical and design assistance. Nepali craft focuses on products that their artisans can make in their own homes with little supervision after training is completed. These range from textiles to ceramics to jewellery and many more.In addition to being paid a fair wage for their products, artisans have access to a range of benefit schemes, including a producer's welfare fund, a savings plan, maternity leave and an education allowance for young girls.
