cause, too. Haba Na Haba sells pillow covers that are silkscreened and embroidered Tanzanian cotton featuring contemporary designs based on traditional East African patterns and style,
including a variety of zebra, cheetah, and giraffe patterns. Haba Na Haba's8217;s products are primarily produced by small women-owned businesses in Tanzania that train young adult AIDS
orphans sewing skills. Retail prices are $27.95 each and are available online at www.habanahaba.com.
Founded by Tanzanian Grace Ndunguru and American Beth Peterson, Haba Na Haba was created as a way to help young Tanzanian teens who often find themselves homeless and without hope for
school, jobs or training. Haba Na Haba supports companies that offer training and jobs to these young adults in an effort to break the poverty cycle and provide a future for orphaned
teens of whom would otherwise have little hope for a prosperous future. To qualify as a trading partner, these Tanzanian companies must pay fair wages and not hire children.Haba Na Haba
also works with these Tanzanian companies in quality standards, design, and good business practices. A portion of profits also goes to support younger AIDS orphans education and health
programs.
's8220;By providing skill training, health education, and an opportunity to sell their goods, we hope to help these young adults learn a trade that will empower them to support
themselves, break the poverty cycle and lead healthy and productive lives,'s8221; said Peterson.
Haba Na Haba will continually feature on their website new types and styles of Tanzanian products from like-minded manufacturers. In addition to supporting existing businesses with this
business model, Haba Na Haba also directly trains young adults in trade and business skills and donates part of its profits to support other AIDS orphan and AIDS health programs in
Tanzania.
