| The Chibanzi Group |
In July of 2008 Africa Bags expanded into its fifth village and formed the Chibanzi Group! This
group consists of members from several different villages that all come together within Chibanzi Village to participate in
the Africa Bags project.
The group has done such a good job making our original cloth shopping bags that
they were selected to be one of two groups trained to produce our reversible shoulder bags.
The men and women in the
Chibanzi Africa Bags group have contribtuted a portion of their profits from the sales of their bags to build a restroom for
the children of Chibanzi Village nursery.
They are also currently using some of the profits to buy cement to finish
the floor of an abandoned building within Chibanzi. This building will be used by the sewing group for the production
of Africa Bags!
