Kabisa is a social impact business created to provide self employment opportunities for young women and talented artists from rural Kenya and Tanzania. We connect and collaborate with those who have chosen to diversify their work by practising traditional craft skills.

 

Our signature product is a set of six, 100% cotton, kitenge cloth napkins which are a vehicle to raise awareness about global food insecurity. Fundamental reasons why accessing nutritious food is a challenge include: drought in dry areas and therefore low agricultural yields, mediocre education and health services alongside surging food prices. Whilst focussing on a brighter future, it is important to acknowledge history and that many Kenyan families were forced from their land, by the British colonial rule, which disrupted their socio-cultural and economic life.

African crafts are so often celebrated, yet the talented artists are frequently not honoured by paying appropriately for their skills and creativity. By increasing fairly traded sales, consequently creating an alternative income for the rural makers, this financial independence enables choice, liberation and empowerment and has the opportunity to generate long lasting, impactful social change.

core kabisa members

COLLABORATIVE. resilient. INNOVATIVE.

Vics and Rosie manage the creative development, daily operations and growth of Kabisa. Their values, vision and entrepreneurial spirit align in unison and are the fundamental strength that form the essence on which Kabisa is built upon. Their contrasting skills, connections and opportunities complement each other and they seek wisdom from Mama Mercy and Aida to enable a smooth operation. 

As the children of our team watch their mothers, aunties, cousins and sisters cutting, sewing and weaving, it inspires their creativity, aspirations and work ethic. This exposure will ultimately encourage them further to flourish and prosper within their communities. Kabisa expresses the truth behind our brand and encapsulates our ethos of wholeheartedly honouring our tailors and artists.

our tailors

Dedication. Expertise. Passion.

Through working collaboratively and sharing completely honest feedback regarding quality and design, we have created a joyful collection of vibrant homeware, stylish lifestyle accessories, and decorations for all occasions, which we passionately showcase. 

our artisT groups

RESOURCEFUL. SKILLED. CREATIVE.

Traditional artisan skills such as basket weaving and beading are in abundance amongst rural women’s groups, yet the opportunities to reach a wider market outside of their immediate community are often minimal. Building a platform that increases fairly traded sales on a wider scale contributes to generating a sustainable income for the gifted creatives.
