Headline Crafts Training for Ethiopian Women

Caption Description As part of its dedication to helping women in developing countries to improve their own lives and their families’, the Voluntary Fund for the United Nations Decade for Women, in conjunction with development agencies in Ethiopia, has set up a handicrafts training programme at the Bethlehem Training Centre near Addis Ababa. The Programme concentrates on handicrafts – tie-dyeing, carpet-weaving, embroidery, block-printing, and tapestry-weaving – that require little investment but can yield on attractive income. Women who complete their training are encouraged to go on to train other women, work out of their homes, and organize handicrafts production cooperatives. A particular appeal of the Programme is that mothers can keep small children with them during their training sessions or take advantage of the day-care and school facilities available at the Centre.
