Artizan International was founded in 2013 by Susie Hart MBE, on returning to Harrogate after 10 years of life and work in Tanzania, East Africa, where she set up a social enterprise called Neema Crafts. This centre provides training and employment for people with disabilities who would otherwise be street begging to earn a living. She set up Artizan International on returning home, to pass on this model to other developing countries where people with disabilities are still living in poverty.
