Indego Africa (www.indegoafrica.org) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit social enterprise that creates jobs and sustainable livelihoods for female artisan entrepreneurs through market access and education. Indego Africa partners with for-profit artisan cooperatives in Rwanda and sells their jewelry, home décor, and fashion accessories on (a) its e-commerce site (shop.indegoafrica.org), (b) to boutiques and stores worldwide, and (c) through large-scale brand and design collaborations. Indego Africa then pools 100% of its profits with all donations to fund job skills training for its partners in management, entrepreneurship, literacy, computers, and health.
