Collection: HOME & HOLIDAY: Fair Wage Handmade Goods from East Africa

Our talented women Artisans handcraft these beautiful home decor pieces and holiday treasures using sustainably sourced materials from East Africa - sisal, banana fiber, organic cotton, reclaimed metals, and locally harvested wood. Whether you're seeking the perfect candle to create ambiance, handwoven baskets for stylish organization, comfort-bringing stuffed animals, natural soaps for self-care, or festive ornaments to celebrate the seasons - each piece brings meaning to your home while supporting positive change.
Every purchase creates impact – our women Artisans and charitable initiatives benefit as 100% of net proceeds support fair wages for makers and our innovative UhuruPads menstrual hygiene program!

PLUS! We are proud to feature our "Reach for the Stars" program! No matter the season, make a tax-deductible donation to honor a friend or family member and you or your honoree can receive a beautiful commemorative card (and a hand-beaded star!) reflecting your donation!
