CRAFT WORKSHOPS

In February 2000 the 'Quarry Women' asked us to help find them other work initiatives they were better able to do. Their mothers taught them from an early age how to make baskets, rush mats, how to sew and make other items from natural resources for use around the home. They showed us the colourful goods they make and asked if we could find them a market for them.

We have since discovered many other craft making skills especially through the art department of Trust High School.

These include batik, art, pottery and greetings cards using natural resources. We anticipate finding woodcarving and other skills there as well. The encouragement of arts and crafts is foundational within any community as it maintains and develops the local culture.

Many of the items would have a highly competitive market among the craft areas for tourists in Kampala. We are bringing many of the items to the UK and have set up a Craft Shop on our website through which you can help Kabubbu by buying directly through us. The items and cards make a special and unique gift for you or for others at birthdays and other special occasions.

Please visit our Craft Shop. (note that it is under construction)

We are reviewing the need to encourage young people at Trust High School to develop their skills through an area specially created for them to develop their skills through a craft workshop.

No sum is too small in the provision of resources to assist them develop their skills.
