If necessary, use a damp cloth to wipe or spot clean the basket.
After serving bread or other dried foods, turn the product upside down: shake and tap to release crumbs and residue.
Avoid using chemicals or detergents.

Sun and fading

Due to being all natural fibers, keep dyed products out of direct sunlight for long periods of time to avoid natural fading.
All natural products with little or no coloring do well in direct sunlight.

Moisture

If products are being stored for more than 2 weeks, please keep in a temperature controlled environment, elevated off of a concrete floor to avoid fluctuating cold and warm temperatures that could create mold.

Meaning & Purpose

A Ugandan weaver crafted this exquisite masterpiece using locally sourced raffia plant and sweet grass. This purchase guarantees fair, stage wages for this talented artisan. Prior to working with KAZI, many artisans worked manual labor jobs or as local vendors. It was financially difficult to support themselves and their children. KAZI weavers have become respected local leaders and primary income earners of their households. Ugandan women weave in small groups, building community and mastering their trade. They can now invest in their childrens' education, increase their savings, and plan for a hopeful future.
