OTIC encourages artisans to consider their products a reflection of themselves and to use products to share their vision with customers. OTIC provides export and marketing services for a number of small workshops in and around Nairobi. These groups provide a variety of advantages to their artisans. Some offer training in wood carving, while others provide short-term, no interest loans. Workshop products include bone items, wire push toys, musical instruments, stuffed animals and other items.
