AID TO ARTISANS
Aid to Artisans is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating economic opportunities for craftspeople in developing nations. ATA's staff, design and business consultants, volunteers and an active board of directors help handcraft-based businesses compete in the global marketplace. ATA consultants help ensure that artisans can improve their production to meet larger orders and deliver product in a timely way. Their training includes market trends, quality control standards; how to build or acquire better equipment or production facilities, faster and easier production methods, and how to cost and price products to guarantee an adequate return on an investment of time and materials. One of the most valuable resources ATA brings to artisan groups is direct access to buyers and importers. ATA displays artisan products in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Frankfurt, Germany.
