CONNECTING AFRICA TO THE WORLD

​

 

Who we are​​

​

DAFA is an acronym for Design, Art, Fashion, and Africa. We are a social enterprise on a mission to help the creative goods sectors - organisations, brands, artisans, co-operatives, and communities – in Africa generate commercial revenue via sales of their creative goods to retailers in international markets.

​

We are an international sales agency exclusively representing the creative goods sector in Africa. We sell exclusively to the trade - retailers, stores and boutiques - in international markets.

 

Our primary purpose is to help generate actual commercial revenue for creative goods made in Africa (rather than mere exhibitionism) in the international market ensuring they are Seen, Shown, and Sold, in order to create social, economical and transformational impact on people and their communities.

​

OUR mission​​

​

Our primary purpose is to help bridge the gap and enable creative goods Made in Africa by the organisations, brands, artisans, communities and co-operatives we represent to be Seen, Shown and Sold with the main emphasis on Sold.

​

Our mission is to help develop a vibrant export market for creative goods Made in Africa that creates invaluable opportunities for people and communities to thrive, empowers women and creative artisans and ultimately transforms lives, communities, and nations.

​

​

OUR vision​

 

Creative goods from Africa account for less than 1% of the global export market, and this is not due to a shortage of talent, manpower, or creativity, but rather proper accessibility, representation, and distribution in international markets.

​

​Our vision is to help create a fair representation internationally for creative goods Made in Africa via trade development and export, primarily to help generate social and economical impact, create sustainable employment and growth within this sector and ultimately to help alleviate poverty and to transform lives.
