Art craft and charity links

Raising money for aid, through handmade arts and crafts:

The inspiration for made4aid was Bags4Darfur - run by Joyce in Canada, who raises money for aide in Darfur by auctioning her wonderful handmade bags, made from vintage fabrics.

Handmade items can also be sent to  handmadehelp to be used or sold to help those affected by bush fires in Australia in 2009, and there are links here for quilters who want to give their help to this cause.

Tessa Edwards, in Hampshire UK, raises money for Africa through sale of her wonderful paintings and limited edition prints, through her website and her blog.



Raising money for local artists and craftspeople in developing countries, through worldwide sale of their work:

Traidcraft - global, fairly traded crafts from developing countries

Aid to Artisans SA - weaving and other crafts, South Africa

Cups of Kindness - arts and crafts for regional Foodbank, NE Ohio, USA

Blue Kitabu - selling prints and posters raising money for education in Africa and elsewhere
