Indego Africa is a non-profit organisation that supports the integrity of artisan-made goods and creates opportunities for the women who make them. We partner with more than 1,200 artisan and refugee women in Rwanda and Ghana to sell products that are created in collaboration in New York City and handcrafted in Africa – combining traditional techniques, local materials and genuine artisanal skill. 

What began as a model to empower artisan women in post-genocide Rwanda has grown into an unwavering commitment to help artisans, unemployed youth, and refugees across Rwanda and Ghana to participate in the artisan economy. 

As a non-profit, we invest donations plus profits from product sales into business, vocational and leadership training for the two generations of women who handcraft our products.
