Amsha is on a mission to make the world a better place for our people and our planet, one handmade piece at a time. They use design and business as a tool to educate and employ underserved artisans in Africa by providing skills training and a market connection. Nearly all their pieces are designed in Portland, Oregon and made by artisans in Africa.

Amsha works with six women’s co-ops and several independent artisans across Africa. The makers are provided with skills training, market access, fair pay, a collaborative work environment, and a path for economic independence.
