Artisan Connect Program
connecting you directly to the heart of our impact - the people
Why join this close-knit community of monthly givers?
At Imani Collective, we believe impact is most meaningful when it is rooted in connection. When generosity becomes more than a transaction and instead builds a shared, global community. This program brings you closer to the hands and stories behind the work, connecting SEED monthly donors giving $50 or more with an artisan whose life and livelihood is supported through that commitment.
Through the Artisan Connect Program, you’ll experience the heart of Imani in a more personal way. Through letter writing, emails facilitated by our staff, and video updates, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the artisan’s daily life, their craft, their family, and their dreams for the future. Likewise, you're invited to share updates, write letters, and tell the artisan more about yourself.
We are committed to building a global community that centers on people in everything we do. That means creating space for artisans to be known, valued, and empowered, while also inviting our supporters into a more human and tangible experience of impact. Our hope is that through this program, we're able to do just that: build a community that spans continents and is rooted in dignity, mutual respect, and the belief that together, we can transform generations.
Fostering relationships through our global community.

Addressing the generational poverty crisis in Kenya is immense, but we believe that SMALL CHANGES = BIG IMPACT and that we must do our part and start somewhere.
When you set up a regular donation you join a passionate and determined group of monthly givers committed to providing access to dignified work and holistic care programs that empower artisans and their families to not only rise, but stay above poverty. No matter the amount, the consistent support of our SEED monthly givers allows us to efficiently plan for the future and effectively allocate funds where they are most needed to amplify our impact, sustaining and catalyzing our mission.
We are unstoppable when we work together.
