Why our solution will solve the problem:

I want to revive the sector of crafting through the image of rural women that seems to be isolated from the urban centres.

Therefore, I use this application to create a network of women through high technology which invade the modern society. So that I use smartphones in this application.

In fact, this combination between what's traditional and what's modernized is considered as a visualization to a real challenge.
