Indego Africa is more than an exporter and importer, and more than a simple non-profit; it hopes to attack the foundations of poverty by fostering sustainable businesses. Indego Africa is a non-profit organization, that operates like a business, but will give all profits (100%) from sales and donations back to the facilities and communities that generated such profit. Indego Africa and its supporters strongly believe in fair trade and are committed to both paying artisans fairly and re-investing in the communities that support artisans.
