Welcome to AfriCraft!where we are committed to promoting sustainable living and fair trade practices in Tanzania. Our organization, established in 2004 AD, has a mission to empower poor communities through waste collection and recycling. We believe that by providing employment and income generation opportunities, we can support a sustainable future and a circular economy.
Our story began in a small home-based workshop with only two employees, but today we have grown to 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 put their talents to work turning trash into treasure and giving it a second life.
At AfriCraft, we believe that every person should have the opportunity to earn 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. By purchasing from AfriCraft, you can support our mission and contribute to the economic development of marginalized communities in Tanzania.
Explore our diverse range of products and meet the producers who design and manufacture them. We are proud to offer a wide variety of handmade crafts, including clothing, jewelry, home decor and more, all made from recycled materials. Thank you for choosing AfriCraft, where every purchase makes a difference in our community.
