At Woven Market Africa, our work is rooted in cultural heritage, community empowerment, and sustainable fashion but our impact doesn’t stop there. We are actively aligning our operations and values with key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that shape a better future for people and the planet.
We create inclusive economic opportunities by supporting local artisans, many of whom rely on weaving as their primary source of income. Every fabric purchase fuels livelihoods and financial dignity.
Over 70% of our artisan partners are women. We are building pathways for women to lead, earn, and thrive through skill-based employment, financial independence, and creative expression.
We promote sustained, inclusive, and dignified work by ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and ongoing capacity development for all members of our supply chain.

Our work contributes to resilient local economies by reviving indigenous weaving practices and strengthening community identity through craft and storytelling.
