“Thanks to Artisan Fashion, I founded the Rangau Brass designers’ group 13 years ago. This collaboration has changed my life for good! In addition to my 4 biological children, I adopted 6 new ones, and managed to put all them through school. Additionally, I employed young people from nearby villages, I taught them a job giving them decent income to support their families upcountry”.
