Artisan Products Handmade in Tanzania with Love

Just as the world’s circumstances were changing Shanga was contacted by Radhika Chavda, with an idea of setting up a UK based online shop for Artisan products made in Tanzania. It is with great excitement Radhika’s hard work has all come to fruition with the launching of https://www.thehandmademarket.co.uk/

A few words from Radhika:

“I first visited Tanzania back in 2007. What struck me most, above all else, was how happy everyone was; the smile on people's faces was just so wonderful to see. Whether they were working in an air-conditioned supermarket or selling fruit by the roadside, their joy was in evidence.

I had the most amazing trip. I sunbathed in Zanzibar, ate the most delicious local food in Dar es Salaam and saw incredible wildlife in the Serengeti. To complete this wonderful experience I met the man I was to marry.

A year later, it was time for a change. I left England for Tanzania, got married and life has been amazing ever since.

Now based back in England, Tanzania will always hold fond memories for me. The people, places and landscape can't be forgotten. I seize every opportunity to visit and someday hope to retire there. The wonderful people of Tanzania made such an impact, I wanted to do more, and my new business is a way to offer continuing support.

Tanzania has the most incredibly skilled crafts people who use local sourced materials to create truly unique products, which most importantly are made with love.

After a visit to Tanzania you never truly leave. There's something about the country that holds your heart forever. My mission is to bring these beautiful products to wherever you are in the world.”

Shanga would like to thank Radhika for including us in her new venture. To all our UK based friends please support Radhika, support us, Mwani and AfriCraft.
