Namtenga

Namtenga Cranbrook Schools’ efforts included building a studio, purchasing 15 looms, and hiring a weaving instructor. Thirty women learned how to dye, weave, and sew.

The Cranbrook Kingswood Weaving Studio initiated a project to build a sister weaving studio in Namtenga, Burkina Faso, Africa called Namtenga Soundo Babisi (The Weaving Sisters of Namtenga). This enabled them to sell textiles and bring income to their families and the village. The Namtenga Soundo Babisi also benefitted from additional educational opportunities that include business management, hea

lth, family planning, and agriculture. Recently, the women diversified by beginning a soap making enterprise.
