@klosti_handmade is a social enterprise in #Greece which supports contemporary Greek artists and workshops - with a focus on women and small family businesses. KLOSTI.com promotes its artists' creations in #Greece and in 20 other countries.

Anastasia Konstantakatou of #KLOSTI, a Tufts graduate, joined THI-sponsored #VentureGarden to springboard her vision into reality. Anastasia says, " Through #VentureGarden I came to enrich my knowledge in business and to see my work with a critical attitude, from a distance, in order to evaluate its progress so far, to set new goals and envision its evolution." #TheHellenicInitiative #THI #OliMazi #HelpingPeopleGrowIdeas
