People's Recovery, Empowerment and
Development Assistance Foundation, Inc.
PREDA Fair Trade Assisted Project
Lingayen Handicrafts is a community livelihood project initiated
by one family. Most of the part time workers are women and mothers from
the neighborhood. Over the years they have developed different kinds of
animal shaped house decorations and accents made of buri midrib fibers that
are twisted on thin galvanized iron wire (locally known as escoba) and
|
|
|
shaped into different decorative stuff. They sealed a business contract
with a British national who controlled the market.
|
They never explored other market sources and were
dependent on the British buyer until they were reached by the Preda Fair
Trade. More designs and promotional assistance as well as direct market
linkages will be provided for the group.
Level of partnership with PREDA: Marketing assistance
