It is well-known the act of charity can be a rewarding and satisfying act. However, what makes TNF stand out from a long line of organisations, is its emphasis on social and economic impact.
Hope for women in Kibera
Kibera’s female artisans reframe tech accessories using craft skills indigenous to Kenyan culture and paper beading techniques that originate from Uganda’s Luo tribe. The Sawa Life office is established in the heart of Kibera (Africa's largest slum) and employs vulnerable women who have encountered such hardships as human trafficking, homelessness, extreme poverty, and HIV.

Sustainable
Within their framework the artisans have a fair and dignified working environment and are paid three-times the national average wage. Eco-sensitivities and sustainability remain firmly at the heart of their enterprise, whereby Sawa Life only works with upcycled or repurposed magazines.
The Work
Scalable
Through the creation of hand-finished headphones and lanyards sold globally, via e-commerce, Sawa Life not only showcases the beauty of designs synonymous with African culture but also offers sustainable employment and independence to the women who create them.
