Amarasti Boilerplate — DO NOT DELETE

Amarasti trains rural women to embroider, bead, and sew, producing a wide range of unique and colorful embroidered and appliqued bags. The women travel mainly from Ezulwini, Lobamba and the Mahlanya to the Amarasti workshop at Ezulwini to collect their work on a weekly basis. All work is done and completed in the comfort of their homes and then handed back to Amarasti a week later where a seamstress puts the bag together and adds the final touches. The number of women employed by Amarasti on a permanent basis has grown to 50.
