Abstract
Practical Action runs a training programme in Sicuani, Peru which aims to improve the skills of local textiles and crafts makers. There is a Textile Centre which is a shop rented by a group of local women at the market. Practical Action helped with the rent for the first year. The centre includes a shop where the womens products are sold and a museum which displays traditional tools, materials and dyes. Julia (seen holding up her product) is the Vice-President of the Cooperative Shop.
