The Ethical Fashion Initiative (EFI) connects fashion brands to a world of exceptional artisanal production to transform supply chains through a structured network of social enterprises in emerging economies.




Our network of social enterprises exists to prove that producing and exporting high quality products is truly and practically compatible with a fair wage, decent working conditions, job creation and resilient communities in emerging economies.
EFI launches the Made in Kenya Mentorship Programme, in partnership with Vivienne Westwood, Artisan Fashion and Jiamini, bringing together designers, artisans and businesses for four months of creative and professional development rooted in Kenyan craft.
Across three tracks, designers and artisan businesses will work with the same faculty: design focused and brand building sessions, creative mentorship, and business and sustainability coachin.

In Kenya, EFI is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI) through the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS.) In West Africa, EFI is supported by the European Union (EU) and the Organisation of African States (OACPS) under the ACP – Business Friendly Programme. In Lesotho, EFI is supported by the Government of Lesotho, through the Ministry of Agriculture, Food, Security and Nutrition (MAFSN), and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD.)
