One of the EWA objectives being creating a link between enviromental conservation, poverty alleviation and sustainable development. In a bid to acheive the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) EWA is promoting and supporting Womens Groups to generate income through arts and crafts using available resourses as to conserve the enviroment and erradication of poverty.
With cultural and ethical considerations in mind , women have come up with various Craft designs, including the Nubian Fruit baskets, Kiganda mats, trays, hand bags and many others. These are normally made from natural fibres and shrubs from wetlands which are collected in a way that allows new germination or growth of new ones.
