Thula Tula, pronounced with a silent ""H"" are the words to a Lullaby African mothers sing to their children. Translated, Thula Tula means ""hush-hush"" baby. Thula Tula was started by Steve and his wife, Angela. It is inspired by their daughter Venice and her Grandmother, Sheila, who passed away from Cancer in September 2018. Thula Tula was born out of the desire to honor her life and give back to the people of Africa. The land where she was born, lived, and loved. They hope to do her proud.

Purpose

Thula Tula is devoted to making a direct difference to the people and communities that created your blanket by providing well-paid, meaningful unionized jobs and empowering underserved communities, especially women and children in Southern Africa. Each blanket is sustainably and ethically designed and woven in South Africa.

People

As a small business, they wanted to make the most significant impact they could. Over 5 million people are without clean drinking water in South Africa and Lesotho. All too often, children are given the family task of walking for miles every day to collect water. With the dangers of water-borne disease and the time wasted it takes to collect the water children, and their communities are having their future disappear.

Planet

Woven at mill that utilizes 50% solar power and recycles all its water through a series of large collection pools that are pumped back into the bulding. All off cuts are collected and used to create their Recycled range.
