Everyone
deserves to
make a fair
wage

An unusual pair—both committed to social good and with years of nonprofit
experiences under their belts— Greg Stone and Alicia Wallace still had one big question on their minds:
How can we really empower men and women to overcome
poverty in their lifetime?

Instead of ignoring what they heard and reporting only the successes, they
transformed their program from traditional aid into a sustainable business
focused on developing leaders and market solutions.

“We’ve set out to change the face of poverty in this lifetime, not
just for the future generations of those we serve.”

From this, KAZI was born, focused on creating unique, beautiful products
for the world to admire from talented artisans in remote regions previously
without market access.

“We believe women and men in rural areas in Africa can be
agents of change for themselves, their families, and their
community when given the proper training and consistent
access to global markets. Their talents and gifts are incredible.”

At KAZI, we’re equipping and empowering women and men to succeed
beyond their biggest dreams. Now, these women and men send their kids to
school without traditional aid, through their own hard work.
