Self-Help Group in Pretoria, South Africa


An AIDS Project in Durban, South Africa

 Working with independent artists and self help projects, we seek out the most unique traditional and contemporary products to bring to the U.S. market.  We hope to maintain the cultural traditions of the ethnic groups we represent as well as look for opportunities to incorporate said influences into modern styles.  In doing so, we support sustainable economic opportunities for impoverished workers. 

Nguni Imports also provides educational material and presentations to schools and private groups aimed at destroying the myths and stereotypes surrounding Africa and African cultures.  We attempt to reveal the cultural and historical richness of the African continent in a non-political, non-biased manner.

Our intent is not to take sides, but rather to expose the truth--both good and bad--of African history throughout the ages.
