Mothers’ Month

May 01, 2016Annie Lopez
We are so excited to announce our first ever Mothers’ Month—a May-long celebration of the incredible mamas we partner with in Rwanda and Ghana (and in the U.S.!) Here at Indego Africa we are all about supporting mamas every day, so we wanted to do something special to honor these moms—and moms around the world—by dedicating an entire month to sharing their stories.

We have lots of amazing features, launches, collaborations, and events coming your way this month and 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. 

This Mothers’ Month, keep your eyes peeled for…

the story of Mavis Adongo—the mom, artisan & entrepreneur who is starting her own bolga basket weaving business in Ghana

a Mother’s Day post featuring beautiful images, stories, and quotes from the inspiring mamas of IBABA cooperative in Rwanda

some very special new items on our ever-expanding baby & kids line (we’re talking some serious cuteness, here…)
