We always try to generate income for our valued craftsmen and women. Most of them live in conflict zones and have scant employment opportunities. They rely on us to earn a living. We pay them a fair price and contribute to the eradication of poverty in Africa.
With this donation, we support initiatives that educate and empower young people living in harsh and hostile conditions in Africa. The initiatives also assist refugee children to attend schools and provide tuition for cultural activities such as music and recreational activities such as sports. We are also supporting a project that aims to reduce infant mortality in Burundi and the DR Congo.
We update our clients about the new stock by sending them updates. These can include pictures of new items, information, details on special offers and even the news and photos of the beneficiaries of our financial donations.

Pemba Amuri, founder of Kilimanjaro Krafts (KJK) is a social entrepreneur passionate about community transformation in both Africa and Australia, where he now resides. Wherever there is need, wherever there is injustice, you will find both Pemba’s heart and talents.
Growing up in a refugee camp in Tanzania from the age of nine, Pemba knows firsthand about the disappointments and loss of dreams that can come from having to flee your home for safety. Yet Pemba was blessed to find hope and love in a desperate place. When he was twenty, a whole childhood gone with only basic village schooling, Pemba received a UNHCR scholarship allowing him to study Town Planning at a university in Tanzania.
“For the first time, I could see myself in my future.”
However, there was something else even more important Pemba took away from the refugee camp in Tanzania – and that was a big heart to share even the little he had, and to make his world better.
Soon after receiving his degree, Pemba decided to use his education to give back to the country he had fled from. He founded a youth movement in the Congo, still ravaged by internal conflicts and overrun by militia groups. Using music and sports as a platform to bring people together in peace, the movement started with a handful of musicians, and soon grew to over 350 young people, and they realized its potential to influence democratic change in the Congo. Why should one of the richest countries in the world suffer so much conflict and poverty?
For the second time, Pemba found himself experiencing the life of a refugee as he again fled trouble in the Congo, and in 2016 arrived in Australia. Within a matter of months, he had begun work with a dedicated advocacy organisation, campaigning for more humane policies for people seeking asylum and adding the voice of his lived experience and heartfelt empathy.
A big part of Pemba’s heart will always remain under the African Sky, dedicated to the improvement of peoples’ lives, particularly refugees. His passion for positive change has now brought together communities in both Australia and Africa. Kilimanjaro Kraft (KJK) is just the beginning of the dream, dreamt by a young boy in a refugee camp, to spread hope to others. But it can’t happen without your support.
