Welcome AfriCraft NGO!
Founded in 2004, our organization is dedicated to empowering poor communities and youth through waste collection and recycling. We believe that by creating jobs, we can support a sustainable future and a circular economy.
Our story began in a small home workshop with just two employees, but today we work with over 200 artisans across Tanzania.
We strive to provide our artisans with the necessary skills and resources to create unique, high-quality products from recycled materials. Our artisans use their talents to turn trash into treasure and give it a second life.
At AfriCraft, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to receive a fair wage for their work.
As a member of the World Fair Trade Organization, we adhere to strict principles and practices that promote fair trade and sustainable development. When you shop at AfriCraft, you can support our mission and contribute to the economic development of marginalized communities in Tanzania.
