I am Zimbabwean but spent almost a decade working in the USA in the non-profit/NGO world and knew when I started The Zuri Collection that we had to have a portion of our sales support our community in some way. We are a very small company and knew that at least at the beginning our charitable giving budget wouldn't support a small family of mice but if we made the support part of our everyday spending it could happen! Having always believed in teaching people to fish, we have used our packing as a way to do that. We have ladies in both the rural and urban areas in Zimbabwe involved in basket weaving and bag making. Our recycled boxes are made by a local gent but we can't leave the men out! :)

Supporting Women in Zimbabwe
We work with two women's basket weaving groups in Zimbabwe. The Soft Foot Alliance in Dete and Mzilizaki Arts Center in Bulawayo.

Reusable, Recycable Packaging
