Kazi believes that everyone deserves to make a fair wage to support themselves and those around them, no matter where they are in the world. They work to alleviate poverty across rural Africa through sustainable and scalable job creation.
Meaning & Purpose: Rwandan women owe their skills to the women before them who passed on the knowledge from generation to generation—mother to daughter, grandmother to child. As young weavers learn from their elders, they quickly realize the weaving process is a painstaking one. Passing on basket weaving to young women carries the weight of upholding a time-honored practice and an age-old rite of passage. Baskets decorate nearly every Rwandan home, for they are one of the most important symbols of family, friendship, good fortune, and proud cultural heritage.
By employing expert weavers in Rwanda, Uganda and Ghana, each artisan income brings economic opportunity to their family and community. When you purchase artisan-made goods, you aren't simply purchasing a woven product - you're investing in a high-quality, handcrafted, naturally sourced work of art created by an experienced weaver.
This gorgeous handmade basket from Uganda is a true work of art. Use as exquisite accent decor for any tabletop or as eye-catching wall decor. A must have for every home enthusiast or someone looking to give a personalized hostess gift for the holidays. You can also pair with other wall paintings or baskets. Each of these breathtaking designs has been handmade by a talented woman in rural Uganda.
There is a hand-stitched loop on the back of each basket for ready to hang wall art. These delicately textured and woven baskets were made by groups of women in intimate communities across Uganda in an ethical, fair trade environment. They use the raffia plant and banana fibers to weave them together.
Meaning & Purpose: Conclilide Kabasinga, a local weaver, describes her success journey with KAZI and the confidence and work ethic women weavers have in their society: “I didn't let being a woman stop me from succeeding in life... women are responsible and spend to improve daily life as well as society. We are good at communicating and quick to understand every situation. This is why I am so grateful for KAZI, because I see them giving women a chance to succeed.”
All products are made by hand with love and vary slightly in colour and size.
