About
The East African Center hopes to increase their income by launching an e-commerce site to sell the products made by their producers’ group.  One component of the EAC is the women’s sewing club and producers group, which produce beautiful handmade products that the EAC has been selling through volunteers and other local and international outlets.  Up until this point, their website for these goods was only a pdf of a catalog, and orders had to be called or mailed in.  The team was tasked with developing the content for an e-commerce site that would bring added income to the EAC, the women of the producers group, and to the Vutakaka Center programs.
