Saffy Handicrafts

Juanita Amigo, Capiz Artisan
SAFFY (an acronym for Social Action for Filipino Youth) Handicrafts handles the marketing and exporting for the Social Action Foundation for Rural and Urban Development(SAFRUDI),a community development organization which was started by an order of Belgian nuns in 1966 to provide employment for women and young people. Besides income generation programs, SAFRUDI has been involved in organizing farmers and fishermen, nutrition education, and emergency medical care. About 20 groups on the Visaya Islands and on Luzon are producing stuffed toys, capiz items, and jewelry for SAFFY.

Comments from around the World
This work is not just so that our families can eat. A certain percentage of the income goes to improving the community. For example, when the schools needed desks, we gave a donation. We also get frequent requests for other kinds of economic aid. We can’t solve the problems ourselves, but we try to put our grain of salt in everything. - Manuel Alvarez - UPA, Mexico.
