Geluksdal, South Africa, Kopanang creates artwork for display,
decoration, and use.
At Kopanang:
Women share life stores and learn
leadership
Embroidery and paper making projects provide sustainable
skills
An Art Therapy program enriches the lives of care givers and
children
Kopanang offers a wide range of handcrafted art, and the proceeds from
the sale of these works provide life-sustaining income to the women and
families of the project.

Sister Sheila Flynn of the Kopanang
Women's Group unveiled 31 embroidered art works at the Faithful
Fools in conjunction with World AIDS Day 2002.
The commissioned exhibition depicts the mystery of
creation in strong simplicity and energy.
Sithand'izingane, its Kopanang Women's Group, and
its other projects are courageous and Foolish.
We salute our fellow Fools and invite you to visit
Kopanang online to obtain more
information, to commission artwork, or to order paperwork or
embroidery products.
