Women Business Hub in collaboration with Pendeza Weaving Project is promoting Hand Spinning and Handloom weaving - Textile Artisan Cottage and small industries to provide employment to skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled women and youth in western Kenya region. Handloom weaving and spinning provides alternative job opportunities. Women Business Hub and Pendeza Weaving Project are encouraging cotton farmers to strengthen cotton value chain by establishing Cottage and small scale industries in rural area by some local people.

Cottage and small scale industries are simple and are operated with limited capital but also increases/upgrades living standard people to earn sufficient amount that can sustain their life and fulfillment of their needs. The rate of unemployment is increasing day by day. To control unemployment, it is necessary that rural communities increase the small scale industries because these are labor-intensive. Rural Women farmers can easily work in small scale industries within the agricultural value chain.
