The Maasai and Kikiyu people continue a long history as some of the foremost bead workers in Africa. The skills to create beadwork has been passed down through many generations and these cultures are famous throughout the world for their beadwork.
I love what you are doing. I can feel good about purchasing from you knowing the artists are paid fairly, treated with dignity and respect, and recognized for their skill. I prefer to decorate with items that are hand made with care as opposed to mass-produced. And knowing that you travel to these locations and work directly with the artists will make it even more special to display one of the beautiful pieces in my home. Thanks again! Misty
I wanted to send a quick note to express my love & appreciation for Baskets of Africa! For my birthday this past week, my daughter purchased a Ghana basket for me. Not only was I thrilled with it's beauty & workmanship, but also by the cause it supports. Kudos to Baskets of Africa and it's mission to prevent poverty through the economic development of African basket weavers! Keep up the great work! Ruth
All of our African baskets are verified Fair Trade, because we believe that indigenous people around the world should be compensated fairly for their amazing work.
