Our Impact
Every purchase directly empowers a girl or woman in Mbarara.
Crafts as a Vehicle for Change
Home of Africa is a social enterprise. We sell high-quality art and crafts — and we use that business to create economic opportunity, education and lasting positive change for girls and women in our community.
When you buy a basket, a necklace or a calabash from us, the artisan who made it is paid fairly, and part of the proceeds goes back into training, materials and support for the next generation of makers.
