Ntengwe for Community Development
Basket Weaving
Matron is a member of the Busungu Mbubupa basket weaving group, an income generation project of Ntengwe for Community Development. The group consists of 42 women of the Tonga tribe.
The “nsangwa” baskets that they make are hand made from natural fibers and dyes with traditional designs. The baskets are used for everything from fruit collection to wedding gifts.
Ntengwe for Community Development is an organization that teaches HIV/AIDS awareness and develops projects to improve the standard of living in the Binga District where Matron lives.
