About The Artisan Rootz Creationz was founded in 1995 to provide rural South Africans with a better quality of life. Using traditional Zimbabwean wire art forms, they've added beads that put their own unique spin on local craft production. The freedom to work from home allows them to earn a sustainable income, while caring for families and dependents affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This autonomy helps fulfill their mission to "inspire dignity, growth, and empowerment in rural Africa."
