Artisans, farmers, and innovators shaping the continent's future.

Craft makers: Hands that transform raw material into objects of meaning.

Land stewards: Growers who understand soil, season, and the cycles that sustain.

Material researchers and cultural custodians

We started in Kibera connecting artisans to the world. What we learned changed everything.

The Start — Marketplace

AFRIAccess began as an online marketplace to give African producers visibility and access to buyers.

The Insight — Infrastructure Gap

We discovered the real challenge was not visibility, but fragmented value chains, limited market access, and missing data.

The Evolution — Ecosystem Thinking

AFRIAccess shifted from selling products to building systems that support producers, materials, and processes.

The Build — Producer Ecosystem

We are creating Africa’s first producer ecosystem: mapping materials, documenting craft, and connecting makers to opportunity.

The Expression — Kazi & Kin

Kazi & Kin brings the ecosystem to life as a marketplace, archive, and storytelling hub linking products to people, place, and culture.
