Sustainable fashion, accessories, and household products are made and sold with women receiving fair payments and training in tailoring.
Profits are used to fund Higher and Technical Education for girls and women.
With partnerships and Women's Enterprise to bring educational and economic empowerment to girls and women in Malawi.
Through selling Chanasa products, creating new products, leading workshops, sharing skills, raising funds and by making visits.
