Kwetu Handmade is a business owned and operated by four African women of Kenyan origin. We take pride in working together with communities from the local villages to bring you beautiful, unique and authentic home and office wares, while creating a more secure future for these talented individuals. Collectors, Interior Designers and Decorators can find special accents and great ideas to add to your projects.
Our products are sourced from Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda where small communities of subsistence farmers make the products by hand. By forming small groups in the local villages and slum areas we are directly involved, and make sure that all artisans are paid before the products are shipped out. Through this we aim to help in securing a more financial future for the talented individuals who live in villages, where inflation is the highest and makes it difficult for many people to foresee a positive future.
