The Artisans Haven, an e-commerce platform started by two Malaysian women to help local artisans market and sell their products during the pandemic, is launching its #HandmadeisHeartmade campaign on Aug 18 (Wednesday).

During the pandemic, many people are turning to online shopping because physical shops have been closed during the movement control order, particularly in the early phases of the National Recovery Plan (NRP).
