Harvest Trading Company - Quality Community Products

Artisan - OliveOlive Muwagga always enjoyed being creative, and won a gold medal for art in Uganda in her fourth year of secondary school. In 1989, she began working as a handcraft trainer for the National Association of Women’s Organizations in Uganda (NAWOU). While at NAWOU, she learned small-scale business management, marketing, and customer-driven product development. In 1999, she began her own organization, African Women Youth Crafts Association (AWYCA). AWYCA has around a hundred producers throughout Uganda, including women and widows, the disabled, and internally displaced people. Her products include greeting cards, beads, jewelry, Christmas kreshes, baskets, bags, cowhide drums, dolls, and mobiles. Olive’s challenge to her artisans sums up her artist's spirit: “Can you create something out of your heart?”
