As one of South Africas best known NGOs Wola Nani has developed an income generation initiative through the global appeal and success of their paper bowls that now provides employment for over 40 HIV positive craftswomen. This project developed new ideas and directions for products and manufacturing techniques celebrating the craft workers skill and the ad hoc simplicity of the original paper bowls. Taking their current making process as the starting point, the project explores the qualities and properties of paper to develop new and innovative lighting designs
