about the artisan

kitenge cotton is a common material used throughout African culture.  This collective was originally established by 18 women and offers vocational training in sewing while also addressing gender-based violence and inequality to women in need.  The Collective aims to empower women through various training programs and life skills, strengthen its own capacity, and promote community-based tourism. It provides education in literacy, English, computer skills, and handicrafts, along with workshops on gender-based violence.  The Collective now employs over 50 women to create accessories, clothing, and home decor. The profits from sales support the collective’s initiatives and ensure fair wages for each of the artisans.
