The rich cultural heritage of the Maasai people - in particular the intricate and creative beading which is their hallmark - is celebrated in every product we make. The best part is that 100% of net proceeds from product sales support the Artisans themselves and our signature initiative, UhuruPads - East Africa's first 100% compostable sanitary pads (which provide jobs for the women who make them and allow the girls who receive them to remain in school with confidence and dignity).

IN PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY.
Employment with a fair wage allows women Artisans to better provide for themselves and their families. Through the creative process, Artisans experience an increase in self-esteem which bolsters their confidence and leadership in other aspects of their lives. |
IN THE POWER OF EDUCATION.
This Swahili proverb - Elimu ni mali ambayo adui hawezi kuiteka articulates what we believe - Education is a possession that no enemy can take. Helping HBFF Artisans access education and enrichment increases the likelihood that they will educate their children (and that their children will follow suit). |
IN COLLABORATION AND UNDERSTANDING.
Our designs are Tanzanian -inspired but also embody the global values and vision of those who invest in Her Best Foot Forward products. |
IN HONORING TRADITION.
The rich cultural heritage of the Maasai people - in particular the intricate and creative beading which is their hallmark - is celebrated in every Her Best Foot Forward item. |
