In the remote Makhungutja region of Eswatini, where the roads are rough and resources are scarce, ten women are weaving a new future, one bundle of grass at a time. Siyaphambili Handcraft, meaning "moving forward," is a cooperative built on craftsmanship, sustainability, and community. Siyaphambili Handcraft transforms locally harvested lutindzi grass into exquisite, handwoven pieces. Every broom is a quiet act of preservation, progress, and pride — and a testament to the power of women-led enterprise.
