Mifuko blog

Francis Ogonga, founder of Gololi Crafts, and Mifuko have been working together since 2009. The ceramic stars and candle holders in our collection are made by Gololi Crafts.

Hanna Anonen won the Young Finnish Designer award in 2021. Anonen designed Mifuko's Kandili candle holder series which has five stackable models.

Uupi has been shooting Mifuko's images since 2011 and grown as a professional alongside us. We asked her to write about this experience from her own point of view.

Christine, Florence, and Alice sat next to each other when all the weavers were gathered together. They started chatting and one thing led to the other, and now they are now practically inseparable.

Faith Nzeve and Sabeth Ndaka have been friends for eight years, they met during a general meeting for Mifuko weavers. 

Mifuko was founded in 2009 by Mari and Minna. The whole story started with friendship. Without it, we wouldn't be where we are today.

One of the goals of the Wash and Grow! project is to strengthen the adaptation of communities to climate change. 

Wash & Grow! project volunteer, Henrik, shares how he was inspired to volunteer and the benefits of volunteer work.

Weaving for Mifuko enables the artisans to earn a better living and helps them preserve their local handcraft tradition.
