Babazeka - A socially aware online store

Wola Nani is an organisation based in Cape Town which supports people living with HIV. Wola Nani Crafts was established because the organisation saw the need for unemployed, HIV-positive women to generate an income. The organisation says that “through a developmental, self-help approach the project’s members have been enabled to take greater control of their lives and achieve a better quality of life”.

Babazeka sells the organisation's shweshwe paper mache bowls. These have been handmade from recycled paper, covered in the traditional Xhosa design known as Shweshwe and then varnished. The crafters are able to produce the bowls at home, so that they can stay with their families, and then deliver the products to the organisation's offices once a week.

Babazeka loves Wola Nani's bowls because they're eco-friendly and have a true African feel.
