The motto of this Fairtrade project, Kapula, is “find something you love to do, and you will never work a day in your life.”

These beautiful mugs from South Africa are individually and lovingly hand-painted, so no two mugs are the same. It is the vision of Kapula to bring the warm art of South Africa to family homes around the world. 

Every day, this project embraces the principles of the World Fair Trade Organization, of which they are a member. They are committed to improving the livelihoods of disadvantaged people through equitable trade practices, fair employment, public accountability, progressive management and the promotion of social justice. They strive to create conditions that are safe, encourage personal growth and respect cultural identity.
