Streetwires creates and markets contemporary African wire and bead craft, blending First World resources with traditional Third World craft skills to the benefit of everyone involved. Started in 2000 this Proudly South African project is providing training, support and raw materials necessary to enable over 100 formerly unemployed men and women to channel their natural creative energies into a vibrant art form. The employment of fair trade principles ensures that artisans and crafts people are paid a fee that they regard as fair and equitable in terms of their effort and resources.

Products include artpieces, lighting, small pieces and stools, tableware, magnets, keyrings and an enormous amount of accessories
