Community Product
Purchase a Product and Change the Life of a Traditional Artisan
Beyond just tourism, we are committed to using cultural heritage to create positive and lasting change. Our community products are not just unique souvenirs for our clients; they are vital lifelines of transformation in rural Acholi. By partnering with local artisans and communities, we build ethical value chains that honor tradition while promoting social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
Shea Butter
In partnership with the Kitgum Women Peace Initiative, we support sustainable Shea butter production, empowering women to earn fair wages while promoting the conservation of Shea trees and preserving traditional craftsmanship. This initiative not only strengthens rural Acholi communities but also ensures the responsible use of a critical natural resource. By enhancing the Shea value chain, we aim to create a model that promotes environmental sustainability and economic empowerment for future generations.
Pots and Baskets:
In Patarila, skilled artisans bring vibrant pottery and intricate baskets to life, preserving artforms passed down through generations. We work with over 20 local artisans, providing a platform to showcase their work to wider markets and turning craftsmanship into economic empowerment. These pieces do more than tell stories of heritage, they fund education, support eco-friendly initiatives, and foster community pride.
