Judy Henshall and Lizzie Mikosi have worked together, travelled to many international destinations on behalf of their projects, struggled, cried, laughed and shared for over 14 years. The people encountered in this journey are many, ranging from struggle heroes to presidents, government ministers and business people, and most significantly the women that often travel many hundreds and thousands of kilometres to meet them.

It is a joy and a sadness to experience these women who finally find work for their hands that can produce a means to source food for themselves and their families. A joy observing individuals discover a purpose, and a sadness that it has not been this from the beginning. The majority of women encountered as network workers and trainees respond so positively to firstly encouragement and fair treatment, and secondly to being guided to their innate ability to create objects of worth.

Recently joined by Lianne and Tiffany Henshall on sales and administration respectively, the core team although small, boasts a large network of professionals, work groups and individuals who have grown to understand that the work being done is larger than a simple monetary goal. This is the work of returning the cultural heritage to the people.

While the challenges are many Uhambo Creations have built a reputation on the authenticity of its work, their attention to detail and quality, while being able to mobilise several work groups in a very short period of time in order to complete larger orders.
