In an era where mass-produced items are readily available and can be delivered within hours, we believe that items crafted by hand with care and grace truly matter. We are a social enterprise dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty, while making high-quality, fair trade products that honor both the producers and the earth. Ecodunia is more than just a business; it's a manifestation of a belief in a sustainable and inclusive economy.  Every product tells a story of local craftsmanship and our commitment to fair-trade practices.

Environmental stewardship means economic justice and fair opportunity. We can't have one without the other. At Ecodunia, we provide:

• Livable wages for artisans and employees.
• Fair prices to supplies.
• Support small scale farmers and herders.
• Economic independence for women and disadvantaged communities.
• Reduced environmental impact through the use of renewable and cruelty - free materials.

Cera Muchiri grew up on a small subsistence farm in Kenya. At the age of nine, her grandmother’s home and farm were burned down during a civil war. With their home gone, her family moved to a Nairobi slum, where her mom traveled two hours each day to work - and still didn’t have enough to make ends meet.

Cera didn’t need to spend two years in the Peace Corps to know just how hard life is for the people who have been left behind by the global economy. So, when she got the opportunity to study international development and entrepreneurship at UCLA, she did it with a clear goal in mind: to return to create dignified work opportunities in Kenya. She knew that her community doesn’t need charity - they need opportunity. 

In 2019, Cera founded Ecodunia. She built relationships with small producers of locally sourced materials, she hired a small team, and built a workshop. Ecodunia now employs over fifteen people in Nairobi's Eastlands and supports many others through ethical sourcing and contracting.
