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.
Kazi’s Origin Story
Our founders Greg and Alicia didn't expect to find a new future in sub-Saharan Africa. Greg traveled to commemorate the end of a devastating genocide, and Alicia was taking an adventurous respite from the corporate bustle. But somewhere along their journeys, they were both captivated by the challenges present in everyday life for remote communities.
They each recognized potential for change in the marketplace that could create a wide-scale impact.
After meeting by chance in 2010, they discovered this shared passion, and joined forces. Giving up their respective corporate endeavors to build and connect; to stitch purpose into every fiber of their lives. Through troubleshooting, conceptualizing and collaborating for a decade, they discovered that. consistent, everyday wages are the strongest transformative tool for a family and community. So, they created this company
