Welcome to Bamenda Handicraft Cooperative Society

 

Bamenda handicraft cooperative society limited was established in September 1965 after people had realised that local skills were rapidly disappearing and felt the right traditional culture of the people of the "grassland" the present North West Province was worth maintaining. The North West Province is often and with reason - described as the Province that embodies the greatest - variety of Cameroon culture.

 

The organisation registered as a cooperative on the 14th of May 1965. It is an independent organisation registered with the Department of cooperation and mutuality under the junction of the Ministry of agriculture. There is also the close cooperation with the Provincial service of information and culture and also Ministry of Trade and Industry.

 

Established in 1964 by American Peace Corps volunteers to help poor craftsmen and women sell their products. The aim of the organisation is to find appropriate markets and to help craft producers get access to these, so that they can earn a living from the sale of their products.

 

 

Bamenda Handicraft Cooperative Society is a member of International Federation of Alternative Trade(IFAT) and  Trading Partner of PEOPlink
