At Ntamapa, we take immense pride in our deep-rooted connection with the artisans of Africa. Over 70% of our products are sourced directly from skilled craftspeople across the continent, reflecting the richness of African artistry, tradition, and culture.
Our mission has always been to create meaningful economic opportunities for African artisans by supporting their craftsmanship in a way that is fair, ethical, and sustainable. We believe in empowerment, not exploitation, and we are committed to ensuring that every artisan we work with is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness.
Fair and Responsible Partnerships
At Ntamapa, we engage with our artisans responsibly and transparently. We:
✔ Pay fair prices that truly reflect the time, skill, and cultural heritage embedded in every handmade piece.
✔ Establish long-term relationships, fostering trust and stability for artisans and their communities.
✔ Encourage sustainability, working with artisans who use eco-friendly materials and traditional, time-honored techniques.
✔ Respect cultural heritage, celebrating and preserving African craftsmanship without appropriation or dilution.
Sustaining Livelihoods & Craft Traditions
By working directly with African artisans, we help preserve ancestral techniques that have been passed down through generations. Through fair trade practices and ongoing support, we provide artisans with a reliable source of income, helping them achieve economic independence and reinvest in their communities.
