Masa Soko runs a beading and crochet workshop with women and youth from Lwandle of Cape Town, South Africa.
This project taught beadwork and crochet to women and youth in Lwandle. The workshops started in February 2022 with 30 participants, and had a total reach of 60 participants, some of whom were inspired to open small businesses using their new skills. The participants were eager to learn and to share their work with the community at large. They produced earrings, bangles, bags, hats, scarfs and other goods.
Masa participated in the IVLP Project Fundraising for Historical and Cultural Institutions before COVID-19 and in the Present, organized by the U.S. Department of State and CRDF Global.
