Founded in Kenya in 2012, Amsha was created with the desire to make the world a better place for our people and our planet by using design and business as a tool to drive social change through education and employment in Africa. Now based in Portland, Oregon, USA, Founder Laura works directly with six women’s co-ops and several independent artisans in Rwanda, Ghana and Kenya to create mindful home and lifestyle products while providing the makers with skills training, market access, fair pay, a collaborative work environment, and a path for economic independence.
