HANDMADE IN UGANDA


Pure elegance on your kitchen counter top for an elegant display of fruit, or make a centerpiece on a large coffee table, either way, you can’t go wrong with this over-sized, unique attention-grabbing woven wonder!

Our uniquely woven pedestal footed bowl catch-alls are the perfect addition to any of your home decor needs! You can use it as a fruit bowl on your dining room table, as a catch-all in your entryway for keys and mail, or as an elegant jewelry holder on your bedroom dresser. Want a pop of color in your bathroom decor? These catch-alls are a decorative way to hold hand towels for guests.

These delicately textured and woven pedestals were made by groups of women in small cooperatives across rural areas of Uganda in an ethical, fair trade environment. They weave together grass and raffia using a sewing needle to achieve these incredible pieces of art.

Meaning & Purpose

The income from baskets now enables the women to provide for their families in life-changing ways: they are able to put nutritious food on the table, give the gift of education to their children, and provide health insurance for their family. Beyond these financial benefits, the baskets have also helped to provide a sense of pride and independence. One weaver, Egidia, describes her journey of self-fulfillment as an artisan. “I rose and became a leader because people trusted me and I was always responsible. I inspire my community as a successful single mother and hope to send my daughter to a university when she finishes secondary school.”

Kazi exists to create fair living wages, good working conditions and market access for artisans.  Some might call this “fair trade”, we call it good business. 

We are the first of 5 companies to receive the highly regarded Nest Seal. Every year we undergo an onsite audit in each country and with each cooperative to earn the right to mark our products with this important seal. 

When you see the Nest Seal you have the confidence to know products have been ethically handcrafted in a home or small workshop. This means fair wages are paid, good working conditions are provided, there are no children or forced labor in the workforce, materials are traced and fairly sourced and all aspects of the production and material processes (like dyeing) are in consideration of the environment and safe working environments.
