As a social enterprise, we often seek cases of similar companies that are working on social justice in the tea sector, to learn from one another and refine our practices. THIRST has been an excellent platform to learn as well as contribute our experience.

About
Kazi Yetu was founded to change the way products are made and traded between Africa and the rest of the world. Commodities that are exported from Africa are mostly processed and packaged abroad, minimizing economic gain in the country of origin. To address this, Tahira and Hendrik founded Kazi Yetu in 2018 with a focus on products made 100% in East Africa to promote job creation for women and more equitable pay for farmers.
