The Shanga Story...
Situated amongst the historic coffee plantations of Arusha, Tanzania in East Africa, Shanga is a heartwarming project dedicated to supporting and empowering people with disabilities to live independent lives. Shanga Shangaa Ltd, founded by Saskia Rechsteiner, is a successful socially conscious for-profit enterprise which employs over 50 people to create unique, high quality handmade jewelry, glassware and homeware using recycled materials. The distinctive Shanga products are sold in Tanzania and all over the world, with profits being reinvested back into development of new products and further employment of disabled people as well as helping those in need through the Shanga Foundation.
Shanga Foundation enables Shanga to provide extra assistance for workers with disabilities and people in the local community with exceptional needs and shared values. The Foundation supports people by providing medical equipment and access to emergency treatment to those in need, offering creative skills training leading to employment for vulnerable people, helping to educate society on the tremendous value and contributions of people in the disabled community and partnering with likeminded organizations to further the aims of the Foundation.
From humble beginnings in 2007, Shanga has grown and become a thriving community which provides an open and safe environment for people with disabilities in Tanzania to develop new skills, build relationships based on respect and realize their amazing potential. Using recycled materials, investing in people and following sustainable environmental practices, enables Shanga to continue to expand and offer these opportunities far into the future.
