BHcrafts in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The BHcrafts project has provided a creative outlet and business training, as well as humanitarian and psychological support, for hundreds of refugee women in war-ravaged Bosnia and Herzegovina. These women, many of whom lost husbands, children, brothers and fathers in civil war, are empowered to use their traditional skills to reintegrate into a full life through creativity and personal ownership. Each BHcrafts product is a one-of-a-kind, handmade work of art created by traditional knitting, crocheting and weaving, creating practical and stylish knitwear and accessories and beautiful home décor inspired by traditional Bosnian patterns. Plus, every BHcrafts product features a label identifying the artist who created it, allowing the purchaser to put a real name to the artistry.
