The Association for Craft Producers (ACP) was founded in 1984 and is a local, not for profit, fair trade organisation providing design, marketing, management, and technical services to low-income Nepalese craft producers.
ACP has steadily grown from 38 producers and 5 full time staff to 1000 artisans (90% female) and 60 full time staff.
ACP is founding member of WFTO ASIA, and has been a member of the World Fair Trade Organisation since 2003.
ACP is situated at the foot of the Himalayas and takes careful and deliberate steps to preserve their environment. They harvest rain water and have installed a waste water treatment plant, they also use recycled paper, and use water based pigments for printing and have substituted acetic acid with hydrochloric acid in dyeing. They also harness the steam released during cooling off of the boilers in the dyeing process to heat water for felting .
ACP provides various benefits for is producers only some of which are given below:
