Lonely Planet review for Bagamoyo Living Art & Handicraft Design Centre
The Bagamoyo Living Art & Handicraft Design Centre, just off the main Dar es Salaam road near the entrance to town and the post office, was established with Dutch funding about a decade ago to empower women by training them in business and handicraft design and production, giving them a means to earn their livelihood.
Since its founding, several hundred women have been trained, many of whom have gone on to start their own craft-production groups. There's also a small showroom where you can buy crafts and sometimes watch the craftswomen at work.
