The Cooperative Story
The Johns Town Women's Craft Cooperative is located in scenic Johns Town, over looking Morant Bay, St. Thomas, Jamaica. The Cooperative was founded in 2007 by a group of talented community women. Their mission was to join together to increase their sewing skills, and generate income for themselves and their families. Since 2007 the women have been working together, gathering new skills, learning how to establish a viable business enterprise and most importantly, creating beautiful handcrafted items.
Recently the Cooperative has received new equipment from the Private Sector Development Programme, which has allowed the women to increase their production capacity. Our current mission is to move into a large production space and to acquire more skill in Fabric and Fiber Arts.
It is our mission to provide you with high quality, well crafted products in a timely professional manner. We look forward to receiving your order!
