WELCOME TO ZAWADISHA
We're your social good marketplace that uplifts women. Our name is Swahili and means to give a gift, which is quite fitting for our little shop.
We scour the continent of Africa for the most beautiful, exceptionally crafted and ethically sourced handmade goods, supporting in local artisans and communities.
Then we invest 100% of sales into our microlending program that has served thousands of women in Kenya. Pretty cool, right?

Zawadisha provides small loans to rural Kenyan women to help finance their livelihoods
There's a reason why they sell out
WITH LOVE FROM KENYA
