Welcome to our global maker-to-market movement where, together with 20,000 artisans, we ignite social change. We create opportunities for individuals, families, and communities in developing countries to thrive through strong relationships, fair wages, safe working conditions, and sustainable practices.
In the midst of all life's craziness, we often forget to stop and tell our friends how much they mean to us. Give them the Forever Friends Bracelet and let it serve as a reminder that you'll always have their back. This knotted nylon bracelet with silver-colored metal ring was hand-woven by artisans working with Nepal Knotcraft Centre. Taking inspiration from Nepal's rich natural and cultural beauty and building on traditional skills, the Centre provides employment to women from across the country and creates unique products for homes and offices.

THE MAKERS
Nepal Knotcraft Center trains, employs and empowers socially and economically underprivileged women in Nepal, giving them opportunities to earn an income and support their schooling. The organization started by training women in macramé knotcraft. Over the years, their product line evolved to include Dhaka weave textiles, cornhusk dolls, bamboo baskets and other natural fiber products, many drawing on local designs and traditions. With a product line made from mostly recycled and indigenous materials, Nepal Knotcraft Center’s products occupy a unique niche in the marketplace. The center runs a savings program for employees, and artisans receive bonuses when orders are sufficient. Literacy classes are offered to help empower the women. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from Nepal Knotcraft Center since 1988
