At SAWA SAWA, we believe in the power of women. Since the beginning, our mission has been rooted in empowering artisan women in Kenya through their exceptional craftsmanship and age-old weaving traditions. What started as a heartfelt idea in 2014 became an incorporated nonprofit in 2019. Today, we are proud to have partnered with over 200 women artisans, creating beautiful, sustainable products that not only preserve culture but also provide a pathway to economic independence.
But we’re not done yet.
As we continue to grow and seek funding and partnerships, we’re calling on weaving groups across Kenya to join the SAWA SAWA family. We are always looking for talented, organized artisan groups to work with, and we would love to hear from you.
