Ilala weavers is situated at Hluhluwe within the province of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.
Established some 30 years ago, with a clear vision and objective of revitalising and enhancing the age-old Zulu tradition of handcrafts, which at the time were in danger of being lost forever.
Today, Ilala Weavers helps over 2000 Zulu people, both men and women, to attain self sufficiency, by working from their homes and therefore retaining their lifestyle and rich heritage of basket weaving and bead work which has been passed down through the generations by Zulucrafters, whose modern counterparts today produce stunning works of art, sought after the world over.
Our mission statement:
"To improve the income and living standard of Zulu people through their own efforts, by developing a cottage industry, guidance as to market requirements, and marketing results products."
