Johari Africa is Swahili for Jewels of Africa. It has a double meaning; the beautifully hand-crafted jewelry by African women, and the women themselves.
This beautifully hand-crafted jewelry has a story to tell. It is made with care by low income women from various parts of Africa. Using recycled paper, coconut shells and beading that reflect local culture; these Eco-Friendly artisan crafted products create jobs and fair wages for these hard working African women.
For every piece of jewelry sold, the money is reinvested in the community to support their children’s education. As stated by one of these talented women, “selling this jewelry empowers the community by educating the future generation.” This beautifully hand-crafted jewelry not only substantiates the strength and determination of these women, but is a great example of successful entrepreneurship in Africa.
‘It only takes about $80US to send a girl to school for one semester in some parts of Africa!’ You can make a difference!
