This is why TIE Global Artisans works with artisans to co-create solutions. People and communities are not the problem, they are the source of innovative ideas. We just help create the right conditions for them to solve their own challenges.
As an initiative out of Pyxera Global, TIE is also excited to be one of the @KnowledgePledge inaugural impact projects focused on improving the lives and livelihoods of African handmade luxury textile weavers. #SDGs #kente
