In 2006 Feedback Madagascar helped to create the woman’s association ‘Soamiray’ in Ambohimahamasina to develop basketry into a sustainable and income-generating activity. Now Soamiray, who produces baskets, handbags, place mats, hats and other wicker items, is making products of better quality that are ready for the international market, & the fair trade company Hazomanga is their main client. Over 140 women work in 14 workshops spread over different villages.
