Neema Crafts Baby Patchwork Throws/Bedspreads
These colourful patchwork throws make fabulous bedspreads, and will bring the warmth of Africa into any room with their bright kitenge colours. You can also use it as a sofa throw or even a wall hanging.
With over 200 individual pieces in the singles, and over 400 in the double throws, they are a real bargain, and every one is unique. Income from making these throws helps the women who make them send their children to school, put food on the table and generally provide themselves and their families with a better life.
Fully machine washable.
The Neema Crafts workshop in Iringa, Tanzania, founded by CMS mission partner Susie Hart, specialises in making beautiful hand-made paper products from recycled paper and natural fibres - including maize husks, pineapple leaves and even elephant dung! They also offer a wide range of handmade jewellery, woven and patchwork goods. All of the highly-skilled artisans are young deaf people who would otherwise have been marginalised by society.
