Our Story
Not charity.
Not fast fashion.
Just real people making real things.
Marie & Claartje, founders of HAKI.
An anthropologist and a psychologist, working alongside these makers since 2009 through their foundation Lala Salama.
We've known our makers since 2009. Long before HAKI
We met in a children's home in Oloitokitok. Not as “founders and beneficiaries” but as people.
We stayed family long after the world moved on.
We saw the same problems repeat:
Studying is expensive
Starting a business feels impossible
Opportunities are rare
Talent gets stuck
So we built HAKI together
a real business with real pay, real savings, real futures.
This isn't a project.
It's long-term loyalty.
Built in Kenya.
