Neepa Hut provides employment for devastated and impovershed areas of the world. In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan ravaged the rural villages in the Visayas Islands in the Philippines. With help from local social entrepreneurs, communities of artisan weavers came together to restore their homes and livelihoods using the traditional crafts that had sustained generations before them.

By promoting and preserving the skills, crafts, and heritage of artisans from areas most affected by natural disasters, poverty, or overdevelopment, Neepa Hut tries to show the world the value of the spirit in which the people of a community come together in an effort to achieve a common goal. The products they offer are all carefully selected, of premium quality, handmade and locally sourced in fair trade. All of the products are made by artisans that live in the Philippines.
