In its thirty years Aid to Artisans (ATA) has helped thousands of artisans through its “Market Link” program of product design, production and business skills. Handicrafts continue to provide an important source of income, especially in rural areas and especially for women. ATA helps artisans meet the demands of the changing world markets, and helps them compete with products that will sell. ATA also supports artisans through the ATA Grants Program, which, for thirty years, has made approximately 40 grants per year to artisan groups around the world.
