Azizi Life

Exton, PABrand · Home goods

Azizi Life began in 2008 as an initiative of the Christian nonprofit, Food for the Hungry. Through a business development program, we met a number of artisan cooperatives. What we saw is that the artisans had skills, organization and leadership. They had vision for the future. They were from impoverished communities, but had a means to rise up. The problem was this: although the artisans could sell their crafts to their neighbors or through a middleman, the income they earned was insufficient to support their families. In some cases, they didn’t even cover the cost of the raw materials! Azizi Life was begun to honor the initiatives and work of the artisans and serve as a bridge to customers around the world.
