Artisans & Farmers

SERRV works with thousands of small-scale artisans and farmers in Africa, Asia, Latin America and other developing regions of the world by marketing their handcrafts and agricultural products. Through our work with 75 community-based organizations in 36 countries, we create economic opportunity so these producers can support their families.

In addition to purchasing and marketing products, we work with producers to assist them in becoming economically self sufficient through product design, training, information, technical assistance and market access.

Featured Artisan

Nine years ago, Wang Ping Feng never would have imagined that her life was going to change so dramatically. Back then, the little money she earned came from farming, and she and her husband struggled to support their family in their small village in the Yunnan Province of southwestern China.

Now, she is the leader of a group of embroiderers from twelve villages that are part of Threads of Yunnan, a social and economic outreach program that has organized local artisans and markets their handicrafts.  She coordinates the group’s activities, earns a respectable salary, and recently represented Threads of Yunnan as their spokeswoman at a government conference on corporate social responsibility in Beijing.  “Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to fly in an airplane and speak at a conference,” Pin Feng marvels.  “This has changed my life.”

After my training, I started working - producing crafts for Prescraft. I come from a very poor background but thanks to Prescraft, I have been able to get married and raise my two children. - Gilbert Atong - Prescraft, Cameroon.
