About Her Best Foot Forward

A random encounter between two women in a Tanzanian marketplace - one a humanitarian, one a Maasai beading Artisan - resulted in Her Best Foot Forward. We offer ethically made, handmade goods and use the proceeds to drive social change. One hundred percent - that's right! 100%! - of net proceeds support our Artisans, their families, and our social enterprise (UhuruPads) in which an additional 13 women are employed making East Africa's first compostable sanitary pad. The pads are provided, along with health and hygiene education to girls attending goverment schools - more than 5000 girls are supported by our program. As for our talented women Artisans, they operate their beading workshop collaboratively and with transparency. Now known regionally for their excellence, they do not wait for us to sell their products but are paid (above local standards) by us for their work and are free to indivdually and collectively utilize proceeds as they see fit, all while creating their work within a safe, clean facility.
