THE ART OF STORYTELLING THROUGH EMBROIDERY

Women's Empowerment in the Winterveld since 1991

Welcome to the Mapula Embroidery Trust

​

The art of storytelling through embroidery 
 

Since 1991, Mapula Embroideries have produced hand embroidered pieces which capture the spirit and vibrancy of South Africa. The project aims to create a sustainable income for its embroiderers in the Winterveld and Hammanskraal areas by providing opportunities to supplement their incomes by creating embroideries. 

Mapula means ‘Mother of Rain’.  Rain brings relief, stimulates growth and provides hope for new opportunities.  Join us on a storytelling journey of hope, creativity and inspiration! 

"Mapula is my life and I can't live without it," Rosina Maepa
