We heard it through the grapevine that there is an empty spot on your wall where this basket would be a perfect fit! This basket is hand–woven by women working with Uganda Crafts, an artisan group that provides single mothers widowed by the HIV/AIDS epidemic the opportunity to earn income weaving at home.

  • Raffia and banana stalk
  • Due to the handcrafted nature of our products, slight variations in color and pattern enhance authenticity.
  • Basket: 6.5D x 2H inches; Loop: 1.25L (when folded) inches
  • Loop for hanging is attached along the bottom edge of the base of basket
  • Handcrafted in Uganda

Uganda Crafts markets crafts for artisans and provides training in quality control, design and marketing. The organization also owns a retail store that provides employment for people with physical disabilities. One of the missions of Uganda Crafts is to provide hope to disabled people, youth and those suffering from HIV/AIDS. In addition to training, employees receive health benefits, emergency loans and transportation. Uganda Crafts employs approximately 300 artisans in five workshops or cooperatives, 85 percent of them women.
