Led by their passionate lady boss, Martha, this cooperative of 12 women have become expert textile artisans.  On the outskirts of Lusaka, Zambia, they work with handmade looms and only the finest locally sourced natural fibers to create pieces that are truly unique in the region.  Martha attended a weaving workshop in 1984 and eventually opened her own studio where she strives to support local women and farmers alike.  She has trained hundreds of women since the early 90s and is committed to using only Zambian cotton sourced directly from farmers.  

We first met Martha in Lusaka in 2018 and were immediately struck by her passion for weaving and desire to lift other women up. More than just a partner, she has become a great friend and never forgets to send birthday greetings in big-hearted Martha style.
