Kamay Krafts

We, the members of Kamay Krafts Multi-Purpose Cooperative, take pleasure in presenting to you quality handcrafted items. We are sure you will have great pleasure in giving, using or seeing them displayed around your home.

This is a business with a difference. That is, the people who are crafting these items are the owners of the business as well. We are a group of about 100 women from depressed areas of Manila (The Philippines) who have come together, pooled our resources and in so doing earn a living. In normal businesses a few get rich while the majority stay entrapped in poverty. By a system of profit sharing we are able to lift our standard of living so that we are not always living in debt.

We work from our homes. This means that there is minimal disruption to the family needs and routines.

Our cooperative is entirely self-supporting and we are not looking for donations. We only ask that you include us in your thinking and view our products as an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of your underprivileged cousins.
