About Us

We are the strength of community,

the power of the human hand,

the foundation of family,

the knowledge of our ancestors,

the hope for the future

– we are the Batoka Creatives crafters and artisans.

Based in the rural areas surrounding Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, we work from the Centres of Hope set up by the Jafuta Foundation, to create beautiful jewellery and homewares that hold a place anywhere in the world.

Founded to create a sustainable living for the women and youth of the Dibutibu area through upskilled handcrafts, Batoka Creatives work with the highest quality glass seed beads, sterling silver and gold plated brass, recycled snare wire, fine embroidery threads and cotton-based fabrics.

Our Story

Our social enterprise makers programme, supporting women and youth artisans to develop skills, create contemporary products rooted in traditional design, and earn sustainable incomes.

By linking creativity with market access, the programme turns cultural expression into dignified livelihoods, with profits reinvested into community programmes
