Unique Handcrafted Collectibles
and Gifts from Africa

A missionary in Africa explained a goal to "create substantial employment opportunities" for African artisans. Africa has a very high unemployment rate, reportedly about 65%. After some time of consideration, exploration and development this web site was established. You're probably familiar with the advantage of teaching people how to fish rather than just giving them fish. Here we have something similar.

We hope you will look at this web site, see the beautiful handmade chess sets and many other high quality products including games, many types of unique beautiful candles and candleholders, motorcycles made from wire, ornate boxes, beautiful three and five inch diameter ornaments and a selection of beaded creations.

If you see things you don't like or have questions be sure to let us know by email. Otherwise, please tell your friends about the site and extend to them our invitation to visit.

Sales via our safe secure payment system will benefit the African workers who produce the unique products sold at the site. The major reason for this site is to provide income to the African workers who make the products.

Sales tax, when required, and shipping costs from Atlanta, GA, U.S.A. are added at checkout.

The items shown on these pages are unique and handcrafted. Therefore, they may vary a little in size and/or detail.
