Ubuntu is an African philosophy that means "I am because we are." It denotes our interconnectedness; we depend on each other in ways, big and small. To reach our full potential, both individually and as a society, we must help others achieve theirs.I am because we are.

We make high-quality, handmade products that provide sustainable and meaningful employment for our community. We do that by sourcing materials locally and making our handcrafted products in our own studio in Maai Mahiu, allowing us to control and optimize every element of the production process. This allows us to pass our cost-savings and profits on to our empowered Makers, investing in their well-being and that of the local community.
