Our Story
The word "Ufumi" means weaving - a symbol of bringing people, cultures, and opportunities together. Every product is handmade by skilled women artisans whose craftsmanship has been passed down through generations.
Many of these women come from communities with limited employment opportunities, including Turkana, Kajiado, Machakos, Kibera, Mukuru, and other underserved regions across Kenya. Through Ufumi, their traditional skills become sustainable businesses that support families, educate children, and strengthen communities.
Design Philosophy
Our products are co-designed by our artisan communities and the Ufumi team. We preserve traditional weaving techniques while introducing contemporary designs, colours, and functionality that meet the needs of modern homes and international markets.
Why Choose Ufumi?
When you choose Ufumi, you are not simply purchasing a handcrafted product - you are investing in a woman's future, preserving cultural heritage, and contributing to sustainable economic growth across Kenya.
