About the Rafiki Exchange
|
The story of the Rafiki Exchange began with one woman—Rosemary Jensen. She and her husband became missionaries to Tanzania, Africa in the 1950s with the goal of helping Africans know God and raise their standard of living. Together, they formed the Rafiki Foundation in 1985. |

|
The Widows Program was Rafiki’s first program. Rafiki has always been passionate about helping women physically through reliable, honorable work and spiritually through the study of God’s Word. We partner with widowed and single women who would otherwise struggle to support themselves. |
|
What started as one woman’s vision now impacts over a thousand women across ten African countries, giving them hope for the future. The women in our Widows Program make beautiful handmade products and study the Bible together. We buy their products upfront and sell them at our Rafiki Exchange shops and online store. |

Every product purchased from the Rafiki Exchange is handcrafted by an African woman and helps her provide for her family and learn about God through His Word. |
