Silk in Ethiopia
Silk and cotton have recently become a unique and important role for Ethiopian women and families income. Kiwi Productions went in with the Rainbow for the Future Team and took a look at Kathy Marshall's silk producing company, Sabahar. Not only does it employ Ethiopian men and women, but also gives them the teaching opportunity to go into business for themselves through co-ops.
Take a look at the short documentary made by Kiwi Productions and learn the silk process - from worm to handkerchief and beautiful garmands. Let the versatility of silk captivate and enchant you.
Sabahar
"Saba" was the name of the Queen of Sheba, and "har" means silk in Amharic Ethiopia's national language.
