text: hear us | Nobunto
  NOBUNTO is a South African Fair Trade manufacturer and creates high quality handcrafted products, like upcycled sculptures, hand-painted candles, handcrafted necklaces and hand-painted ceramics with the utmost attention to detail using mainly African inspired designs. NOBUNTO products are responsibly handmade with love and care for our customers, artisans and the environment.
  Based in the small village Napier, about 180 km east of Cape Town, where the unemployment rate is in the region of 50%, here has NOBUNTO provided employment to mostly women of this disadvantaged community and guarantees a FAIR income above average for our employees.
  Our company name, as well as our logo with four intertwined hands, reflects our motivation and spirit:
  Community, Cooperation,
  People, Teamwork and Fair Trade.
  On the initiative of a European partner we were in 2012 over 4 days assessed by an EFTA member. The EFTA (European Fair Trade Association) is an association of nine Fair Trade importers in eight European countries. Through this assessment, many of our efforts and experiences have been positively confirmed.
  Over the last years we were regularly audited by accredited FAIR TRADE auditors from several organisations.
