About the leather tanning

In 2021 Hadithi Crafts trained a youth group and equipped a tanning workshop for them in Mwachabo (Buguta). They tan the goat hides, byproduct of the local meat industry, into leather that suits the baskets perfectly. Rustique and real!

About the leather crafting

In 2022 Hadithi Crafts set up another youth group for leather craftwork at the Buguta Disabled group. A group of artisans is now working at Buguta disabled group specialising in the leatherwork to add value to baskets. Rims, handles, closures, zips…
