The Co-op make jewellery as well as colourful fabrics, bags, cards and items you can use around the house.For the past few months we've been working really hard to develop our new online shop! On the new shop website, customers are able to buy 'Wawoto Kacel' products directly online. Its taken a lot of time to finish but its finally live!
Wawoto Kacel Cooperative's products are created by a group of HIV positive women in Gulu, Northern Uganda. The cooperative was set up in 1997 and the products have been so successful that they are now sold locally and internationally. The women make all sorts of jewellery, fabric/embroidery products, bags, homewares and cards.
By selling products on behalf of Wawoto Kacel, the women gain an invaluable income and a sense of independence and dignity.One of the many gorgeous necklaces made by Wawoto Kacel. Any profits that IRT make are also put towards other projects that we support - so the products really are a great buy helping great causes!
