We work with artisans right outside of Farafangana on the Southeastern coast.
Enchanting Madagascar
Madagascar is a country unlike any other—home to landscapes shaped by red earth, lush forests, and some of the most unique biodiversity on the planet. Over 90% of its wildlife is found nowhere else, including the iconic lemur, a symbol of the island’s rich ecological heritage. But beyond its natural wonders, Madagascar’s strength lies in its people—resilient, skilled, and deeply connected to tradition. That spirit lives on in every handcrafted piece, inviting you to be part of something beautiful, lasting, and meaningful.
When We Arrived
We began working in Madagascar in ___, drawn by the remarkable skill of local weavers and the challenges their communities faced in earning fair, reliable income. What we found were women with deep pride in their craft but limited access to markets that valued it. By introducing Prosperity Wages and committing to long-term partnership, we’ve helped artisans transform that talent into lasting opportunity—and every product you purchase keeps that momentum going.
