Made in Africa

The Story

Made in Africa (made-in-africa.co) is a Ugandan-based marketplace showcasing African-made furniture, art, and organic teas. Founded in 2021 by a collective of Kampala-based designers and tea growers, the platform partners with carpenters in the Mpoma workshop cluster, painters from the Ndeeba art scene, and organic tea farmers in the Rwenzori foothills. Every wooden piece is crafted from sustainably-sourced mvule and mahogany, while the teas are grown pesticide-free at 1,800m altitude. Made in Africa's mission is to prove that African-made goods can compete on quality with any global brand, and to keep value addition on the continent. Featured by the Uganda Export Promotions Board.
