Handicrafts & Home Production

Multiple products, multiple income streams — all from home.

This program trains women to produce a diverse range of sellable handmade products — from candles and accessories to gift sets and home décor — enabling them to diversify their income and build a small home-based enterprise. The emphasis is on speed-to-market: participants sell their first products before the program ends.

What you will learn

  • Candle making: scented, layered, and decorative styles for retail and gifting
  • Handmade accessories: resin jewellery, beaded pieces, and wearable crafts
  • Gift and occasion sets: packaging, presentation, and seasonal product lines
  • Materials sourcing and cost control for each product type
  • Product packaging and professional presentation for local markets and online platforms
  • Marketing basics: WhatsApp catalogues, Instagram posts, and word-of-mouth referral systems

What you walk away with

Graduates leave with three to five distinct product types ready for sale, a costed production log, and an active selling channel — enabling fast revenue diversification from a home setting.
