APIKRI

APIKRI works with artisans who live on the Indonesian island of Java, near Yogyakarta and Central Java, an area well-known for its craftsmanship, and also one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Their work offers supplemental income to artisans by promoting craft development in areas where land is scarce and unemployment is high. In addition to marketing crafts, APIKRI also provides training, financial support in the form of loans and a social grant fund, and environmental projects that promote reforestation, waste treatment, and conservation of vital resources. They also advocate for policies that support small and medium enterprises.
