African Angel Project

This has grown and developed into the production of canvas bags of all shapes and sizes from shopping and carry bags to beautiful conference bags and designer handbags

Women are the centre of African life, they are our mothers, sisters, protectors, teachers, leaders and care givers - they are our African Angels. This little angel represents joy and celebration at a time when we need it most. Open a paper, switch on the news, and all you hear is crime, poverty, unemployment, HIV/AIDS and hopelessness - this does not have to be our reality...

Thusanang’s marketing assistance is key and today we are building our our “African Angel” initiative, where rural women manufactured beautiful hand embroidered pot-pourrie bags. 

This has grown and developed into the production of canvas bags of all shapes and sizes from shopping and carry bags to beautiful conference bags and designer handbags. 

In July 2005 Thusanang manufactured the bags for the Oprah Winfrey Conference in Johannesburg, and we have recently completed our first order of handbags for the GUESS? label, an international brand. 

These orders are testimony to the quality of work produced by rural South African women, and we hope to increase our marketing to create further jobs.  This means that Thusanang not only needs financial assistance, but also orders for products – the pride in manufacturing a beautiful product is the best motivation possible.

When you purchase a Thusanang product, you are not only helping create jobs, but also to highlight the plight of rural South African women who are making a difference to their own lives!

Come and visit us at Decorex in Gauteng!
