about us

We are a family business, founded by husband and wife team Jeremiah and Patricia Makaza. Two decades later, their daughter Linda is also now a part of the team to continue the legacy of empowering artisans in Zimbabwe. Together, with our close knit team of 25 artisans specialized in batik porridge drawing, painting, dyeing and sewing, we create fairtrade gifts that give twice, to the buyer and to the team in Zimbabwe.
