In response to the challenges our partners in Africa are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic, Swahili Modern is contributing $10,000 to create an Artisan Relief Fund. We are giving small grants directly to artisans to help those in need.
By making a donation to the Artisan Relief Fund, you can provide additional support to hardworking men and women in nations across Africa. Any amount helps, and 100% of donations go directly to artisans in need.
At Swahili Modern, we follow fair trade principles, so we can offer our partners across Africa the means to strengthen their homes & communities by their own design. Artisans earn fair wages through creative work in their villages, without leaving home to seek work in cities. Traditional skills that have been passed down through generations continue to bring meaning, stability, & a sense of pride to artisans & entire communities.
"I love everything about this basket! The colors, the sturdiness, the size. This will be used for picnics and boat trips all summer! When not in use for that, it’s beautiful to have sitting around."
— Mary S.
"We love Ella & she's admired by everyone who sees her. She's very happy here in her new home. Great purchase."

"LuLu Life shea butter is awesome. I was introduced to it by a friend while in Kenya, and I have used it since. Our northeast winters are very cold and dry, and LuLu Life really helps keep my skin hydrated. Try it!!!"
"I have been ordering from this company for many years and I will for many more. They have the best customer service and always add a personal touch with every order I place.
