Why We Only Source from Kenyan Makers

When we launched Zawadi by Amina, we made a promise: every product we sell would come from a verified Kenyan maker, farmer, or artisan. Three years later, that promise has only grown stronger.

Here's the reality: Kenya has some of the world's most talented craftspeople, farmers, and producers. From the beaders of Kajiado to the textile workers of Kiambu, the skill is extraordinary. The only gap has been market access.

We bridge that gap. Our supplier network spans 14 counties. Every product goes through a 7-point quality check before it reaches you. And 100% of the supplier payments happen within 7 days — not the 60-90 day terms that crush small businesses.

The results speak for themselves. This year, we supported over 120 small producers. Our average supplier has grown their income by 38%. Three have hired their first employees.

When you shop at Zawadi by Amina, you're not just buying a product. You're part of a movement to build Kenya from within.
