Moio Llc

Our mission is simple; we seek to bridge the gap between Zimbabwean craftspeople and the global marketplace through the sale of beaded bracelets. The Covid-19 pandemic revealed the fragility of Zimbabwean artisans' tourism-reliant businesses. With deep ties to Zimbabwe, we were in a position to expand artisans’ customer base to mitigate the effects of economic fluctuation. With profits, we've established a training program to give Zimbabwean women, who have faced barriers to workforce entry, entrepreneurial and vocational skills. To date, 14 women have completed this 3-month training program, become integral members of Moio's beading collective, and gained financial independence, and the ability to support themselves and their families.
