Experience the Magic of Shopping with Purpose: Where to Find Zawadisha IRL
There's something extraordinary that happens when you hold a handwoven sisal basket in your hands—you're not just touching beautiful craftspersonship, you're connecting with a story that spans continents and transforms lives.
At Zawadisha, we believe shopping should be more than a transaction. It should be an experience that feeds your soul while creating ripples of positive change across the world. That's why we're thrilled to invite you to visit us in person at two incredible locations: the Riverside Farmer's Market and our permanent shop-within-a-shop at Wyld Market.
Where Artistry Meets Impact
Every piece in our collection has traveled an incredible journey from the hands of skilled African artisans directly to you. These aren't mass-produced items—they're one-of-a-kind treasures, each telling its own unique story through vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and exceptional craftsmanship. When you run your fingers along the carefully woven sisal or admire the bold designs, you're experiencing art in its purest form.
But here's where the magic truly begins: 100% of our sales fuel our microlending program in Kenya. Yes, you read that right—every single penny goes toward empowering rural Kenyan women with access to rainwater tanks, clean cookstoves, solar lamps, and the resources they need to build brighter, more sustainable futures for their families.
