Thandanani Sewing Project
This burgeoning local business began with 10 enterprising women and three sewing machines. African Bush Camps created a microfinance loan initiative to fund purchase of fabric and supplies to the ladies. Today the women use locally sourced textiles and recycled materials to produce handsome crafts, jewelry and clothing purchased by visitors from all over the world. When you travel with us, your safari dollar supports valuable community conservation programs like this. Thandanani means to love each other. This venture gives local women a way to support each other in supporting their families.
