With the support of GIVE A HAND, AMOR – the Mozambican Recycling Association is implementing the Art and Craft project out of recycled material with the aim of training women and young people (ecopoint managers and AMOR employees) in the production of handicrafts and Microentrepreneurship.
The project was launched on August 18, 2016. The activities take place every Thursday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in AMOR’s office.
Since August, the participants already have had 13 sessions of which:
– 10 sessions of craftsmanship where they learned how to make handbags, handbags, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, vases and puffs;
– 3 sessions of micro-entrepreneurship where they learned what business management is, how to apply prices on the articles produced and where to sell their products (markets).
From the 1st to the 5th of November, AMOR participated in the fair of the European week that took place in the Fisheries Museum. During this fair two participants of the class of Handicraft sold articles produced by them with recycled material. (See below the sales monitoring chart for the month of November).
