Neema Crafts is one of the best reasons to linger in Iringa. What began as a small project with elephant-dung paper has grown into a serious social enterprise employing disabled artisans in workshops that make textiles, beadwork, paper, woodwork, and other crafts. It is not charity tourism; the products are genuinely good, and the workshop tour makes the place feel human rather than worthy.
The centre also has a cafe and shop, so it works as a practical lunch stop as well as a place to buy gifts that are not the usual airport souvenirs. Go during weekday workshop hours if you want to see the production side, and leave space in your bag for baskets, paper goods, or fabric.
