Strengthening Female Entrepreneurship through Crafts and Sustainability
Let’s empower women.
Let’s revive tradition.
Let’s create a sustainable future together.
N. Macedonia holds numerous favorable preconditions for the development of female entrepreneurship — a sector whose growth can significantly contribute to the broader development of the national economy. This is particularly true through the revival of long-forgotten local crafts and traditional women’s skills such as sewing, embroidery, knitting, and creative handiwork.
“Our goal is to help women from vulnerable groups, from different ethnic communities, as well as young people in Macedonia, discover something new — or rather, something old and beautiful — a tradition that may have been lost. Many do not know how to embroider, sew, or knit. We want to help reintroduce these skills into their lives and show them that these crafts can be a path to employment, economic empowerment, and personal fulfillment,” said Ambassador Presker.
