Women’s Handicraft Fair

Decorated potteries displayed

A Women’s Handicraft Fair was held at the Eritro-German auditorium on April 19, 2008. The fair was organized by the U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Staff, together with the National Union of Eritrean Women’s Association. It was attended by more than 500 viewers.

The objective of the fair was to empower disadvantaged women who work from home. These women have not had the opportunity to showcase their wares to a wide audience. This was a wonderful partnership with the U.S. Embassy and the National Union of Eritrean Women’s Association.
