Timbali Crafts

The women who create Timbali Crafts are all volunteer cooks at community based feeding centers, called Care Points*, throughout Swaziland, Africa. In spite of their own hardships, the Timbali women help to feed more than 2500 children each day. Timbali started in 2006 to reach out to the physical and spiritual needs of these hard-working women. It was evident that something more needed to be done so that these ladies, who were serving their communities in such a vital way, could also provide for their own families. What we first thought would just provide a little income here and there for a few women, has become a major source of income and outreach to 100+ Swazi families! In a country where 2/3 of the population lives on less a dollar a day, what the Timbali women earn per bag is equal to a full day's wage for many jobs in Swaziland. Timbali Crafts helps the women to purchase their own sewing machines through no interest loans with minimal monthly payments. The women are also given the opportunity to participate in a matching savings program, to help with school fees for their children and other big expenses such as home repairs. Timbali reaches out in emergency situations with food baskets for families who have lost a loved one, or have a special need, and we also help to provide medical care when possible/needed. Timbali means ‘flowers’ in the Swazi language, Siswatti.
