Kazi means work. That’s what they create: works of art, that provide steady work, for artisans in Rwanda, Uganda and Ghana. Through business partnerships around the globe, they create high demand for expertly woven goods from skilled artisans because it prevents poverty and raises visibility for their meaningful and striking artistry.
Kazi’s work with Nest ensures that wages and practices meet the highest possible standards, evolving with the global marketplace in real time. The fair wage they provide increases income ten-fold in many cases, which then filters into local economies and communities.
