People of the Sun

The People of the sun consists of the most skilled artisans from Southern Malawi. These artisans are taught to harness and develop their skill-set to build sustainable businesses in their community. 

“Malawi’s artisans have a centuries-old craft tradition using natural resources and generations of indigenous knowledge. What they don’t have is access to modern design, a platform to sell their products and the knowledge and funds to set themselves up as proper enterprises.”- People of The Sun.

By producing refined furniture and lifestyle products that are deeply-rooted in the hand-crafting traditions of their homeland, the business is able to generate income for the local community. 

Since the initiative began, People of the sun has collaborated with talented designers and respected international brands, aiding in brand awareness and brand generation. In turn, the collective has succeeded in positively impacting the lives of over 600 Malawian families and community members.
