About Care Studios

I’m delighted to introduce you to Care Studios—a social enterprise that brings together art, culture, and social impact. Our proceeds directly fund DTCare initiatives across Sub-Saharan Africa, providing vital support to vulnerable children and local communities. Our collection showcases authentic Ndebele, Zulu, and Xhosa (Mandela Tribe) beaded jewelry, handbags, purses, home décor, and other accessories, all meticulously handcrafted by South African female artisans. Every piece tells a story, preserves cultural heritage, and empowers women through fair, sustainable employment and community development. Under the creative direction of South African artist Thenjiwe Nkogatsi, our team is committed to ethical sourcing, strong community partnerships, and arts-driven development. We’re proud to offer unique gift items, from sculptural animals to distinctive jewelry, that bring a beautiful piece of South Africa into your museum shop. By featuring Care Studios products, you will: • Offer your visitors truly unique, culturally rich items with a meaningful origin. • Directly support DTCare’s work serving children in some of the world’s poorest communities—every purchase helps create meaningful change. • Align with your mission to celebrate and highlight diverse cultural traditions and artistry. Disclaimer Each piece is handcrafted for you by our artisan partners, supporting meaningful livelihoods with every order. Please allow 4–8 weeks for production and delivery.Read their story
