The Akazi Project

How as individuals do we make our voices count? Conscious consumerism is a catalyst for systemic change and community connection. The Akazi Project, a women driven retail line, was born from the necessity of reducing the burden of disease for the women of Malawi, Africa. With the goal of improving livelihood through community building, The Akazi Project develops sustainable projects for growing community capacity & investing in infrastructure and education. And it's built by consumers like you.
