About the Rafiki Exchange
About UsThe Rafiki Exchange seeks to provide women across Africa with a means of gainful employment through the exchange of traditionally constructed
African products.

Confronting an ObstacleIn sub-Saharan Africa, women represent a large share of the workforce, but that does not mean that they have secure, decent jobs. Women typically receive less pay than men receive and work in less secure positions. The majority of women throughout the continent have vulnerable jobs such as subsistence farming or as unpaid family workers. They have little to no financial security or social benefits. Because of their circumstances, widows find the task of providing for themselves and their children a daunting and sometimes impossible challenge.

Teaching Trades
We don't just buy products from women, we teach them valuable business skills and train them to become competent in their work.
Giving HopeThe result of this work is women who have a hope for a future. They are freed from their dependance on others and are prepared to become self-sustaining.
