Support VMA
Welcome to the Village Markets of Africa website!
On behalf of Bishop Kahuthu and the Kenya Evangelical Lutheran Church, we want to say “Asante Sana” (Thank You Very Much). It is your support of VMA and interest in our fair trade products that enable us to liberate our artisans from the grip of poverty.
Village Markets of Africa returns 50% of profits from your purchase to fund sustainable and appropriate development projects for our supplying cooperatives. With your support, we offer grants, micro credit lending, production upgrades, and job training . Please be generous when you purchase our fair trade goods, and you will directly improve the quality of life for artisans that make your favorite products!
The website is updated frequently, so check back often for new products and promotions. Fair trade products make meaningful gift ideas, so do remember us for your special occasions! We also offer wholesale discounts if you want to spread the message of fair trade on a larger scale.
We are excited to share with you our "Fair Trade Bazaar in a Box" kits for churches and fundraisers. Ask us about getting yours today!
Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have questions or comments.
Blessings,
Jacob Schmalzle
