Green Creations

Green Creations started in December 2009 as a livelihood project of World Associates, LTD with a grant from USAID to facilitate the development of creative life-giving community and income sources for women. The program merged community development with environmental awareness and began with five ladies who developed the base components of each item from recyclable materials. Everything from old newspapers to glass bottles was repurposed at the hands of these skilled artisans.  Over the years, more than 70 ladies have been interviewed for the program which currently employs 11 qualified women including a director and assistant director.

Under the leadership of these local directors, new products continue to be developed and the use of sustainable materials is maximized in each product created. The skill and creativity of the Green Creations women are evident in the design and production of the quality up-cycled handicrafts they create and sell. Jewelry, homewares, and ornaments comprise the product lines currently marketed and sold in both local and international venues including an online store. Each product inspires care for the environment and each sale directly benefits the artisans and their families.

Green Creations is more than just an income-generating organization though, it is a group of artisans who share not only their skills but their care for one another; transforming the workplace into a safe and healthy community where work and life is shared. The development of local leadership is facilitated and individuals are empowered to make a living based on their skills and to find value in the relationships they establish within their Green Creations family.
