AFYA [Health]
When was the last time you took medication? Went to the doctor? Or had medical tests, surgery or ongoing treatment.
Health care can be complicated and expensive and can be difficult to access. And we know where we live can make a huge difference to our healthcare and our lives.
Our red Africa pouch is for healthcare. It’s for the connection we all have to taking care of ourselves, and our loved ones. Your purchase of this bag will both invest in creating creative employment, and investing in healthcare for those we work alongside in East Africa: For glasses, contributions towards surgery, for medication, for hospital visits.
If you take regular medication, get a bag and use it for yourself. This bag is a direct connection to a partnership of access to healthcare.
A thousand small choices add up. Little by little our trade becomes transformative. Our investment in products engages passion and innovation, and creates new projects. Employment becomes sustainable, safe, empowering, unique and meaningful. Choose to be a change maker, choose to support makers and creators.
Invest in beautiful products and hardworking communities.
