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.
Ugandan 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 Ugandan 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.
Intricately crafted with the finest materials, Kazi vases are a beautiful addition to your home decor! This gorgeous home accessory will look stunning anywhere in your house. Fill with fresh or faux flowers (comes with a glass insert!) to highlight the beautifully dyed raffia. Bundle with other beautiful handwoven vases and place next to accent lamps on your home office desk or organize your wooden spoons on the countertop.
It is clear this might just be the most versatile vase you have ever purchased. These delicately textured and woven vases were made by groups of women in small cooperatives across rural areas of Uganda in an ethical, fair trade environment. They weave together grass and raffia using a sewing needle to achieve these incredible pieces of art.
