A 'Connection' with Africa for over Half a Century! This ensures
a strong supplier chain and experience..
Craft Zoo Follows a Strong Ethical Buying Policy, which includes:
Trading fairly by Paying our Crafts People on a Piece Rate
Basis
Paying A Fair Price for the Crafts we Purchase
Making payments when we purchase the crafts and not after
we have sold them
Educating the Crafts People on better ways to produce he
beautiful crafts e.g. using all raw materials to allow maximum
usage
Encouraging the use of sustainable raw materials by using
waste woods where possible. The use of 'Good Wood' such as Jacaranda
is also being promoted and encouraged. Jacaranda grows much
faster than the usual hard woods that the crafts people are
used to. This requires a different carving technique, which
we are encouraging the crafts people to learn. At the same time
we are still paying the crafts people the same amount per item
as products made from hard woods such as Mahogany and Yellow
wood.
No Child Labour is used. However, children help their families
in polishing, cleaning or packing of the products. This helps
skills to be passed from generation to generation and at the
same time it helps them develop their own creativity.
