Leather Project

One of our Project Managers discovered this craft in the Dofhar region near Salalah. The women there strip narrow threads from goat hides and create woven articles. We have taken that talent and created useful and decorative items such as necklaces, cell-phone holders, key-chains, and more. This is an example of how we take a centuries-old tradition and create new income opportunities for the artisans.
