One of capda’s priorities for 2013 is to strengthen the capacity of a beading cooperative run by parents of children with disabilities.
CAPDA commissions beading work—including jewellery, Christmas decorations and bags—to be sold at Presence, a wonderfully quirky gift shop in Adelaide, who generously pass the profits from this stock back to CAPDA.
This arrangement provides the cooperative’s workers with much-needed income, and CAPDA uses any profits to provide further equipment and training.
