Christy’s Handcrafts is a mother-owned business designed to engage young hands and hearts in natural craft and art. Through your purchases, you not only support the efforts of a work-at-home mother, but your purchase of Fair Trade products supports the economic independence of many mothers and artisans abroad.
Through programs like the Doll Project, involving over 80 Mayan women in six remote villages of Guatemala, your dollars cultivate cultural pride and speak to the value of preserving traditional handcraft.
Creating sustainable income on a global level is the foundation of Fair Trade. In addition to creating sustainable income in Kenya, the handcrafting of such toys as Kenana Knitter Dolls, has created a literacy program and provided a healthcare facility for a group of people hit hard by AIDS.
Please explore our site and join us in igniting our children’s natural inclinations to learn-by-doing, through our thoughtfully selected handcrafting kits. Through the arts of knitting, basket weaving, paper-making and other handcrafting experiences, we not only provide an avenue for their own inner-connectedness, but open the young people of our world to the interconnectedness of all.
Warmly,
Christy
