Mawu Africa was born from the shared passion for African crafts by Paula and Jenn, two individuals deeply rooted in the continent's rich cultural heritage. Growing up in Africa, they recall the warmth of the wooden cooking utensils and the charm of the hand woven straw bags that filled their homes. However, upon venturing beyond Africa and traveling the globe, they were struck by the stark absence of these exquisite creations in other parts of the world. Driven by a desire to bridge this gap and share the beauty of African craftsmanship with a global audience, Paula and Jenn embarked on a mission to establish Mawu Africa. Their vision went beyond mere commerce; it was about preserving cherished childhood memories while empowering African artisans with consistent and sustainable income opportunities. Through Mawu Africa, they sought to create a platform where the cultural treasures of Africa could be celebrated and appreciated worldwide, enriching lives and communities in the process.
