With an academic background in development, Sheila believed that creating an income generating opportunity for the women would help them become happier, healthier individuals - women who could take charge of their lives. Her small business that started with 12 women has now worked with and trained more than 890 women. Their products are known for their beauty and quality, as well as the story of the women behind each product. Tintsaba provides the opportunity and the training for weavers to move into finer, gallery quality woven products.
