From January 31 st 2007 Bosnian Handicrafts is implementing the project with the financial help from Canada Fund. The project will last 6 months and its implementation will be monitored by the Canada Fund Monitor.

The reason for this project is the unfavourable climate for handicraft producers in Bosnia and Herzegovina and BHcrafts in particular caused by the cease of operations of the only cotton yarn producer in BiH, company SATEX d.o.o. Sarajevo in May 2006 .

Until situation with SATEX is resolved or until acceptable alternative supplier is found, BHcrafts need to secure outside funding to create the reserves of raw materials in order to maintain the 2006 level of craft production.

Canadian Fund is contributing to this goal with its donation of CAD $ 9,791 enabling us to improve living conditions of women in Bosnia and Herzegovina through income generation activities.

 

Od 31. januara 2007. godine Bosanske rukotvorine implementiraju projekat uz finansijsku pomoc Kanadske ambasade. Razlog za ovaj projekat je nepovoljna klima za proizvođače rukotvorina u Bosni i Hercegovini, a posebno za Bosanske rukotvorine koja je uzrokovana prestankom rada jedinog proizvođača pamučne sirovine u BiH, kompanije SATEX d.o.o. iz Sarajeva u maju 2006. godine. Dok se situacija sa SATEX-om ne riješi ili dok se ne nađe drugi prihvatljivi dobavljač, Bosanske rukotvorine trebaju osigurati spoljno finansiranje da bi stvorili rezerve sirovine i održali nivo izrade rukotvorina iz 2006. godine. Fond kanadske ambasade svojom donacijom u iznosu od 9,791 CAD doprinose ovom cilju omogućavajući nam da unaprijedimo životne uvjete žena u Bosni i Hercegovini kroz izradu rukotvorina.
