Likha’s mission is to empower artisan families to overcome poverty by reimagining time-honored local craft for the global marketplace.

Their products are crafted from natural, eco-friendly materials (often repurposed by-products of the food/agricultural sector) including natural straw and plant fiber, coco coir, sustainably-sourced shells, and recycled wood. Designed in collaboration with their artisans, each item is painstakingly made by hand and features a blend of intricate traditional techniques and modern design.

Collaborating with 200 artisans in 10 diverse Philippine communities, each with its unique cultural craft, they help uplift their status, develop their confidence and sense of self-worth, and uphold their dignity as human persons.
