ARIANE CRAFTS ANALYSIS

Dear reader and buyer,

Hello there!

Dear readers ,

In the context of our Stitch and Shelter Initiative you and your institution can book me for classes, talks and presentations.

Even if you do not want to contact me I want to talk to you. So please read!

Today I want to tell you about something very vile that happens in the world, something that you and I are partially to blame, but something that you and I can help solve the problem.

I do not want to only give you details about the tens of thousands of textile waste dumped in South Africa every year, but also and mainly to ask you how you can start your next textile venture with South African women in mind!

My new model from Stitch to Shelter is materialised in a book with complete legal and ethical guidance on how to set up a place for South African women to live while making beautiful needlework such as locker hooking handbags.

I not only address the full legal spectrum that is involved in this project, but also give you the complete directory of contacts at the National and Regional Government that is required to make this happen.

The process is not complicated, nor requires large funds.

As this was not enough, I also elaborated a full application and proposal that anyone with or not good credit, can submit to their bank in South Africa to obtain funding to fund the set up of a factory that transforms textile waste into high quality wool yarn.

I joined vision for a better future fused between the desire of changing South African women for the better and the scientific knowledge of how to do it and what machinery and processes are involved in such.

The environmental challenge of receiving tens of thousands of textile waste every year will crumble South Africa into a further environmental and humanitarian disaster until something is done at the industrial level to change the course of history for better!

I brought the solution to the table and I want you to be a part of the process by buying or reading the book for free with Kindle Unlimited .

You do not need a Kindle tablet. You can read the book via Kindle web.

It is a well elaborated book that aims at solving the Textile Waste Crisis by creating a model of Stitch and Shelter that will demand the use of yarn resultant of the industrial scale transformation of textile waste and good will to keep thousands of women sheltered and employed in needlework Stitch and Shelter hubs, the future of South Africa!

You do not need to be South African nor African for this matter. Also you do not need to reside in South Africa.

Read the book and figure out how it is now your time to act for the Environment and to Change Women’s lives for better!

Thank you for being part of this journey of changing the world for better.

Here is the Table of Contents – hope it inspires you!
