Neema Crafts covers all it's running costs (that’s all wages, basic medical costs, rent, amenities, raw materials, etc) from the revenue generated by what is sold, (just!) We receive no outside support at all to cover this, which we believe is no bad thing as it keeps us on our toes creatively and ensures that we only make high quality goods that people really want to buy. However, there are always needs that we cannot meet from sales alone, and this is where you can help. Specifically we are always glad of donations to buy and improve craft equipment (such as looms for example), to purchase wheelchairs and other disabilty aids, or to fund training, such as the cost of the literacy classes which we provide free of charge to people with disabilities who were denied an education when they were children. If you would like to make a donation, please email us to find out how, thank you.
Every little helps. For example:
- £5 pays for a month's weekly literacy classes for 10 people.
- £10 pays for a malaria treatment for 3 people
- £30 buys 4 pairs of locally made crutches
- £90 buys a 3 wheeled hand-bike wheelchair, which gives vital independance to wheel-chair bound people.
- £150 is how much it costs us to train a disabled person for thier initial 6 months training period before they become proficient at their craft
- £360 buys an expertly made table-loom, used for hand-weaving fine scarves etc. which will last for many years
