Creating a cultural archive of Memory Cloths was only the beginning of Andries Botha's engagement with the women of KwaZulu Natal. With friends, he established an NGO - Create Africa South. He found a sponsor for the Amazwi project in The Netherlands, The Prince Claus Fund, and expanded it to offer business courses and micro-credit to women working on the Memory Cloths. He says it's not so strange that a sculptor also runs a non-governmental organisation.
