Founded in 2007, Indego Africa works to help women of the continent gain financial independence. The brand’s baskets, bags, hats, and more are designed in NYC and produced by women in Rwanda and Ghana, who are paid a fair-trade income for their work. All of the company’s profits go back to these ladies, and not just in wages: Indego Africa has invested extensively in the education of its employees, offering programs that range from skills-based vocational training to business management.
