INSPIRE Weaving is an age old tradition passed down from mother to daughter,
a symbol of pride in a rich culture.
In a fast developing world, it is our duty to inspire Batswana youth to proudly keep these skills alive
and offer a platform to evolve into the future. View our products LIVE Along the shores of the Okavango river, livelihoods depend on the daily toil of the land –
crafting supports the entire family and its community as they work together
to supplement an income that helps to feed, clothe and educate their children. Contact us UNITE "By bringing crafting communities together we are uniting forces for a greater reward for all” –

Supporting sustainable livelihoods

Crafthood is a social enterprise that reinvests monies gained into the continual upliftment of crafting communities in Botswana. We work in partnership with producer centres and groups in the north west of Botswana, supporting them with product development and quality control, encouraging them to celebrate their pride in their skill and their beautiful country whilst creating a platform for fair-trade sales and a sustainable industry.

CRAFTHOOD

inspire | live | unite

Every item is hand crafted and made to the beat of an African heart, in a homestead filled with laughter and joy.  Each basket is unique and the exquisite patterns are an expression of life and the natural surrounds such as ‘running ostrich’, ‘tears of the giraffe’ and the ‘rondavel’.  Botswana baskets are arguably the baskets of the world and North West Botswana is proud to be the home of this wonderful artistic expression.
