Our products are manufactured for you in Tanzania and imported as a finished product to Germany. It is very important to us that the added value takes place in Tanzania and not in far away Europe. The products are preferably made by craftsmen in rural areas and not in a large factory.
We appreciate the direct trade with small producers without middlemen or trading companies. We set the prices for the products by mutual agreement with the craftsmen. The price of the final product includes an educational and investment surcharge, which is intended to enable the manufacturers to further their education and expand their business as they see fit.
It is also important to us that we act transparently for you as our customer. Thus, on each of our products there is a detailed price information where you can see how the price was created. The product name kipoa is a fusion of the Kiswahili words, "kitenge", the East African cotton fabric from which our bags are made and "poa", the word for cool. Thus, kipoa stands for "trendy fabric".
We hope that you will like our idea, support it and tell people about us. We promise you that your money will go to the people who made the kipoa product and that they will have a place in the world.
