Kwanza Collections, the marketing arm of Amka Trust, was formed in 2001 to export the handicrafts of artisans working with Amka. Amka, which means “to awaken” in Swahili, was formed in 1994 with the support of Traidcraft Exchange and funded by the British government’s Department for International Development. It is headquartered in Dar es Salaam. Amka’s mission is to alleviate poverty in Tanzania through the marketing of products created by over 855 Tanzanians. Amka assists small and medium enterprises by providing marketing support to primary artisan groups, cooperatives and associations involved in food processing, crafts and metal fabrication. Amka also assists artisans with trade promotion including market research, trade fairs, advertising and buyer contracts. Amka’s goal is to “awaken” small enterprises to new opportunities and support them in developing new skills. Kwanza Collections, which means “first” in Swahili, exports the handicrafts of 800 batik artisans, potters and woodcarvers in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar to fair trade organizations.
