Novica

Novica is a crafts company with a mission of connecting artisans in developing nations with global consumer markets. Novica's established infrastructure includes online, wholesale, and catalog sales channels across a network of regional offices in Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Ghana, Indonesia, Thailand, and India. Novica counts as part of its global supply chain over 4,000 artisan groups and 10,000 artisans.

Novica's growth strategy includes a three-year expansion that will introduce three new regions to its artisan supply network by 2011, beginning with an office in Guatemala. GBF will assist that expansion effort, significantly increasing the number of recipient artisan communities, and also improving Novica's growth, and financial prospects.
