OUR MISSION

Empower talented artisans in Africa

We are a social business that aims to support and provide new opportunities to talented African women artisans, who dream big but are often invisible to the society.
Our goal is to be the bridge to connect these African talents and their handmade products to the rest of the world, because we believe that investing in the local talent is investing in the sustainable growth of local communities.

OUR IMPACT

Enable and support artisans growth

We provide our artisans the possibility to expand their business accessing foreign markets.
In addition, we re-invest 100% of our profits in the education and livelihoods of our women artisans to support and enable them to keep growing and be financially independent. We support their development through ad hoc trainings on new crafting techniques but also on business, finance and leadership.
We want them to develop their entrepreneurship skills, thus to help more junior artisans to develop, scaling change.
