Africa always seems to give far more to the visitor than they could ever do in return. To us, Africa has inspired to the extent that an urge has arisen to give something back…

We founded Arts for Africa out of the belief that we can help create a better Africa for people to live through the power of their art. The isolated basket weaving communities in Northern Botswana and Zimbabwe are guardians of one of Africa’s most valuable cultural heritage. Each basket carries a tale – of dedication and skill passed on from mother to child, of traditional stories woven into its design, and of the joys and hardships that come with rural life in Africa.

By creating an international sales platform, Arts for Africa aims to provide the weavers with an opportunity to showcase and sell their exquisite works of art across the globe and establish independent, sustainable livelihoods. We call it trade aid.

Over the years, we have had the privilege of joining hands with incredibly talented weavers, cooperatives, NGO’s and the inspiring people that make it happen. They have become part of our team as we work together to transform lives through art.
