Mifuko has been radically sustainable since 2009.They are a community of strong, independent women. Mifuko loves the fusion of Nordic design with African handicraft.

The idea of Mifuko was born amongst the colourful bustle of a market in Nairobi, Kenya. Today Mifuko is a successful Fair Trade company. In Kenya, climate change has led to recurring droughts making farming an unreliable foundation for a stable livelihood. The income artisans earn from Mifuko helps ensure families are fed and cared for when crops can no longer provide security.

Joy of working together

Meeting with artisans is the most rewarding part of our work, seeing the work of hands and hearts. Artisans live far away from big cities, in small villages or in the country side where work opportunities are rare and small-scale farming is the most typical source of income. At Mifuko they take it at heart that they can bring work to the women and they can themselves decide how much they want to work and when. Basket weaving allows the artisans to invest in their children, homes and future.
