Promoting Souvenir and Handcraft Production by Women in Villages in Malawi

​In December 2018, Amb. Dho Young-shim, UN SDGs Advocate and Chairperson of the International Charity Foundation (ICF), had a meeting with a cooperative of 28 women who have benefitted from the support of the ST-EP Foundation for the development of handcraft, and particularly basketry.
Amb. Dho suggested those women to diversify their production in order to offer souvenirs such as place mats that can be easily brought back by tourists, and she also invited them to share their know-how with women living in Mwandama, a cluster cluster of villages that has been supported by the ST-EP Foundation through the Millennium Villages as Tourism Destinations initiative implemented in 2011-2015 together with Millennium Promise.
