Our core values are based on inclusiveness, diversity and innovation. We are committed to establishing strong partnerships with professional associations, specialized local government institutions and private companies that share this vision.
As a project in development, the Lyannaj Foundation aspires to become a driving force for the competitiveness of artisans in these regions. We believe in the potential of Sub-Saharan and Caribbean economies to harmonize the processes and regulations relating to the work of the thousands of men and women working in the crafts sector.
