Our social enterprises try to build long-term relationships with established global brand partners rather than producing one-off collections, because relatively high minimum order quantities (MOQs) are often needed to ensure a positive and substantive impact on the lives of artisans, micro-producers, and their communities. Please sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media to be the first to know when we launch special projects that independent designer brands can get involved in.
At present we have active projects and established social enterprise partners in in Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Haiti, Kenya, Mali, Uganda, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, with a new project launching in Lesotho in 2026. We are working hard to make these projects sustainable and are not currently able to support other projects. If your organisation is able to provide support in these countries, Please contact us by emailing <span style=”font-weight: bolder;”> efashion@intracen.org.</span>
