Since the year 2000, we have dedicated our time and passion in economic upliftment in impoverished areas, specifically aimed at women empowerment. We do this through reviving a traditional African artform, which is the craft of beadwork. Through Monkeybiz, we are fortunate enough to have 217 talented bead artists that work with us, as a result of this collaboration, not only are they able to express themselves artistically, they are able to support themselves and their families financially through their art. All profits from our sales go back into the community where the bead artists receive benefits such as year-end bonuses and funeral cover for their immediate families.
