PayPal is not an option. Welcome to the world of micro-business in the Third World.

Here, you will find some of the world's most beautifully woven cloth and clothing - all inaccessible in the normal marketplace. The skilled artisans and supporting organizations simply work in a part of the world with no supporting infrastructure for commerce as most internet users are used to.

DO NOT LET THAT DETER YOUR CURIOSITY . . . TAKE A LOOK!

The Woman's Foundation of Nepal has empowered abused women through counselling, education, physical and emotional strengthening, training, micro-loans, skill development, and basic marketing know how to regain pride and confidence.

The women weavers receive a loan to purchase their looms and establish their businesses. Upon sale of their craft, the women receive 40% of the sale price and The Women's Foundation of Nepal receives 60% of the sale price which is invested in the training of more women.

There is a small but developing market for these unknown artisans and their products. There is little contact with the international community whose attention is, of course, required to develop a market for the products of these women.

Help break up the caste system which keeps these women poor, click to learn more and see these beautiful products and wonderful colour selections.
