Vendor Biography

Authentic African Works exists, not only to give your feet comfort all through the day, but also so that you get to have genuinely handmade leather sandals that are long-lasting and whose appearance has only minimal change despite the time.

The cause

Authentic African Works is here not just to make sales. We are here for a cause. And that cause is to see a change in our community. There are many refugee youths in Kyaka 2, our main location, who possess skills in crafting but are unable to gain from them regardless. We come in to ensure that they source livelihood from, and improve, their skills. In so doing, they can, later, create their own businesses and hence create employment for many other refugee youths. This, we like to call, the Ripple Effect.

Why Us

Many people out there make leather sandals. But few, if any, will give anything more than just leather for your feet. At Authentic African Works, the leather used is carefully selected to suit your needs. We understand that people are different, and hence, we do our very best to give you the kind of leather that best suits your needs and wants. With more than two years, beating all odds and still in operation, we give you the opportunity to customize your sandals and yet still give you topnotch quality. And all this is without digging deep into your wallet.
