Azizi Life is a brand that is based in Rwanda. They partner with over 30 different fair trade cooperatives and over 500 individual artisan partners. All of these artisans live in rural villages in Rwanda and utilize age-old weaving techniques to handcraft jewelry and home goods while also keeping traditional craft techniques alive.

These artisans are recovering from years of genocide and war in their country and are working together to bring their art to people around the world. All products crafted by these cooperatives are made using locally-sourced and sustainably grown sisal fibers and forest grasses. Natural dyes are utilized to bring new colors to the raw materials, making each and every product both ethical and sustainable.

Azizi Life is dedicated to the wellbeing of their artisan partners and their families. In addition to opening economic opportunity through fair trade, Azizi Life invests in a range of community impact projects including adult literacy classes and offers other practical resources for personal, spiritual, and economic growth.
