People
Kazi Good's products are crafted using age-old methods from an expert weaver, whose fair wages then circulate in her community. Women for hundreds of years have taught their daughters the age-old weaving process, preserving traditonal craft and heritage. Artisans work in collective groups, or weave at home, where they can stay with their children. This is how Kazi Goods as a family, and company, creates lasting economic impact in Africa, and beauty at home.
