Do you like to bring a piece of clothing from another part of the world to your own home? What if you could order a beautiful scarf that was made in Africa - that also had a great cause and story behind it? 

Maisha Collective description from their site.

The Maisha Collective empowers refugee girls and young women from DR Congo, Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Burundi with economic opportunities to rebuild their lives with peace and dignity. By managing a business collective that designs and produces a line of unique tie and dye scarves, participants gain life-long business and marketing skills that develop their confidence and prepare them for future independence. The power of purchase inspires their journey to support, empower, and ultimately protect other young refugee women.


All profits are reinvested into the Maisha Collective and support the participants’ success in Heshima Kenya’s programs.
