Tibet Artisan Initiative
I’ve known a couple of my cousins were living in Tibet for a while but
not really had a good sense what they were doing until today. My
sister forwarded me a catalog from the
href="http://tibetcraft.com/">Tibet Artisan Initiative (TAI) where
I see Matt McGarvey is on their
href="http://tibetcraft.com/who_we_are_07.html#TAI_Family">meet us
page. The TAI was created as part of the Tibet Povery Alleviation
fund towards the goals of:
- Alleviate Poverty: Assist Tibetan entrepreneurs to increase
production capacity and revenue, and in turn create new forms of
employment.- Incubate creativity & entrepreneurship: Provide product
development, marketing, and business education to Tibetan
entrepreneurs in order to increase the competitiveness of Tibetan-made
merchandise, while assisting Tibetan entrepreneurs in developing
greater market access and market share.
Cool!
