Indego Turns 10!

Mar 28, 2017Annie Lopez
This year, Indego Africa turns 10 (yes, we can’t believe it either!) and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate! Every day for the past decade, the Indego Africa team has woken up with the collective goal to empower women and support artisans around the world. We wanted to do something extra special to honor our 10th anniversary and celebrate our partners in Rwanda and Ghana-- that’s why we’re sharing a decade of growth, impact, and stories!

We have lots of amazing features, launches, collaborations, and events coming your way this year and we can’t wait to share them with you. To give you a sneak peek (and to get you as excited as we are) we’re including a list of all the fun things to come below. 

For the rest of 2017, keep your eyes peeled for...

- A special 10th anniversary gallery event on July 19th featuring beautiful images and stories from the inspiring refugee women of Akeza Burundi Cooperative at the Mahama Refugee Camp in Rwanda

- The story of Gahembe Cooperative and the #bossladies of our Vocational Training program who have started their own successful weaving business in Rwanda!

- Some very special new items on our ever-expanding baby & kids line (we're talking some serious cuteness here...)

- An exclusive interview with Indego Africa's founder, Matt Mitro

- #firstfriends conversations with some of Indego's earliest artisan partners including women from Cocoki and Twiyubake Cooperatives 

- A feature on our upcoming sewing cooperative in Tamale, Ghana!
