Welcome Letter
Hello and Thanks again for Visiting afrigoods.org
You will find in this website a great variety of unique African curios, sculptures and a whole range of artifacts portraying the rich African culture and untapped talent in the continent.
By purchasing an item from this website you are assured of excellence in quality and great value for your money.
Perhaps, the best part of the whole thing is that you are helping others at the same time.
The areas of Africa where these products are made are poor, third world countries.
Whenever you buy one of these products, you not only purchase the best original African craft at the best prices ; but help give basic necessities to African people in need at the same time.
Even when it does not seem like a lot of money to you; it can be enough for some people to buy food, clothing, or medical care with.
It also accomplishes this without some of the problems that go along with traditional charitable giving.One of the things that I have heard over and over again from Africans and non-Africans alike is that much of the money that is sent for charitable purposes to Africa, easily gets used up before reaching the most needy recipients.
There are additional problems too. Sometimes people who could earn a normal living, end up depending on charity to live on; and not becoming self-sufficient. By selling products that these African people make, you are giving people a job. Just like the old saying says: "You can give a person a fish and he will be fed today, or you can teach a person to fish, and he will be fed for a lifetime".
Proceeds from this site are also donated to various African initiatives and projects in an endeavor to alleviate the poverty rampant in many African communities. such a project include theJamii Charitable medical organisation
We guarantee quality for the products and any of the products that do not meet your satisfaction should be returned within one month for you to get your full refund.
Please remember that you are buying an individually hand-crafted work of art which is unique and does not come from a mould or off a production line.
Therefore, the item ordered will almost exactly duplicate the object displayed but may differ in detail. This is your guarantee that you are buying an original piece of Africa
We wish to provide a venue for all African artisans to showcase their work. Additionally we will showcase product designers whose work incorporates African materials or designs; and will provide information on books, articles and educational materials of interest. With every purchase of these products, you contribute to the preservation of these traditions and experiences.
In the great linking tradition of the Web, we hope that this site will link together disparate sources of information - from the people who work in the traditional crafts and those who are influenced by them.
Oh, I almost forgot...
