Meet the Artisans
Sibimbe
Sibimbe pairs ancestral sewing skills with vocational training to give women opportunities to be self sustaining. As one of Thistle Farms’ accelerator programs, Sibimbe was launched globally so that women could feel freedom locally, providing safe work and improved quality of life.
Each Sibimbe product purchased is more than a material item; it is an education in a child’s future, hope for a single mother to sustain her family, and a beacon to escape a cycle of poverty.
At Thistle Farms Global, we are proud to provide a fair wage to artisans around the world.
