Baskets of Africa Supports These Organizations

Through monthly or annual donations, or membership, Baskets of Africa donates a portion of our sales to these organizations. We encourage you to look at these and other non-profits that are doing good work in Africa and consider making donations yourselves.

— Play Pumps
"It's a simple idea. As children spin on a merry-go-round, water pumps from below the ground. It is stored in a tank just a few feet away, making a safe, plentiful supply of water available in the community." Learn More at PlayPumps.org

— Kona's AfricaBike Project
"AfricaBikes will aid home health care workers in the delivery of ARV drugs to HIV/AIDS patients in a variety of African countries." In 2006, Botswana was the country that received AfricaBikes, in 2007 it is Namibia. Learn More at AfricaBikes Blog

— Save the Children
Over 90% of donations go directly to benefit children in their programs. Sponsor a child (or several) in Africa. Learn More at SaveTheChildren.org

— Fair Trade Federation
"The Fair Trade Federation (FTF) is an association of fair trade wholesalers, retailers, and producers whose members are committed to providing fair wages and good employment opportunities to economically disadvantaged artisans and farmers worldwide." Learn More at the FTF Web Site

— Co-op America
"Our mission is to harness economic power - the strength of consumers, investors and businesses - to create a socially just and environmentally sustainable society. Co-op America - Economic Action for a Just Planet." Learn More at the Co-op America Web Site

— African Weavers
Most importantly, your purchases directly assist in the support of weavers, both women and men throughout much of Africa. The primary goal of Baskets of Africa is simply to buy as many baskets as we can in Africa in order to support as many weavers as we can on a reliable and consistent basis. In addition to purchasing baskets, we contribute to weaving groups with donations of money, training and/or material goods. Support the Weavers with Your Purchases

None of this would be possible without the support of all our customers. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting Baskets of Africa and the rural weavers in Africa!
