We train those local artists in product development and business skills such as merchandising, accounting and pricing. We work with them to create beautiful products and give them access to local and international wholesale markets.

Since 2017, Zambia has been taking in refugees fleeing from continuing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Fast forward to 2021 and the population of Congolese refugees restarting their lives in the new refugee settlement of Mantapala has climbed to 17,232 individuals. In partnership with Made51 and UNHCR,

Tribal Textiles has set up an artisan project in the Mantapala settlement. Our Mission: create sustainable impact through creative craftsmanship.

Recycling in this remote part of Zambia is a big challenge. There is a huge amount of aluminium, plastic and glass waste which is difficult to recycle. In 2018, we decided to combine our love for art, our knowledge of craft and our will to contribute to the recycling process in the Valley. The Glass recycling project was born!
