Who We Are?
We are a group composed of a non-government organization (NGO) and a marketing company that empower thirty-one (31) community-based marginal producer groups located in eleven (11) provinces. The said groups employ a total of around nine-hundred (900) artisans.
Our NGO support our partners with capacity-building activities covering a range of organizational and entrepreneurial matters. It also offers Business Development Services through trainings and mentorships to improve their enterprise.
On the other hand, the products produced by these communities are marketed and traded both locally and internationally.
Organizations:
Community Crafts Association of the Philippines, Inc. was formally organized in May 1973 with Mr. Antonio R. Infante as founding President together with twenty-one (21) members representing the religious and socio-civic sectors. The purpose then was to contribute to the social and economic progress of the country’s urban and rural poor, with a particular focus on the community craft workers nationwide.
CCAP Fairtrade for Development Inc. was officially established as an intermediary marketing arm of CCAP. Thus, it shares the same purpose with CCAP, the NGO, but focuses and specializes in export trading of the handicraft products made by the community-based marginal producers. The new set up was a move of CCAP to promote and strengthen the practice of fair trade standards to its partner producers, buyers and supporters.
