Organization Details

Crafts of Africa is an e-commerce startup bringing authentic, high-quality African handicrafts to the global market. By sourcing directly from skilled artisans in Kenya, Eswatini, and Uganda, we empower local communities through sustainable income opportunities and showcase the rich heritage of African craftsmanship. With a focus on fair trade, fast global shipping, and quality assurance, each purchase supports artisan livelihoods and preserves cultural traditions for future generations.  

Impact Story

Crafts of Africa's impact story is deeply rooted in empowering artisans, preserving cultural heritage, and fostering sustainable livelihoods. By partnering with artisans from Eswatini, Kenya, and Uganda, the platform connects their handmade crafts to global markets, offering fair prices and fast delivery through a partnership with DHL. This approach ensures artisans earn a dignified income while preserving traditional craftsmanship for future generations.

The company emphasizes sustainability and community support, focusing on women artisans who make up a significant portion of Africa's handicraft industry. Through initiatives that enable artisans to remain in their craft and contribute to their communities, Crafts of Africa aligns with the principle of "trade, not aid." This model not only uplifts individuals but also drives long-term economic development in the regions where the artisans operate.
