SAWA SAWA is a non-profit social enterprise founded in 2014 by Anne Drane, an Austin, Texas-based founder reconnecting with her Kenyan roots. The brand was established to create sustainable income for women artisans in rural Kenya by showcasing their traditional craftsmanship. Initially selling on platforms like Etsy, the initiative was formally incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2019. The brand partners with artisan groups to produce high-quality, handcrafted bags, baskets, jewelry, and home decor.
