Company Performance Metrics
ASIGE operates as a social enterprise that combines fair trade crafts with community development programmes. It produces handmade baskets, bags, fans, storage solutions, and other homewares, primarily woven from locally sourced elephant grass as an alternative to single-use plastics. Through its craft production and sales, the organization supports
women and young people with dignified paid work and sustainable livelihoods. ASIGE reinvests proceeds into social initiatives such as basketry skills training, vocational skills development, reproductive health education, and reusable sanitary pad production. It also runs girls’ education and scholarship programmes that help address school absenteeism linked to period poverty. The organization aligns its operations with fair trade and “people and planet first” principles, using its product range to fund and deliver long-term social impact.
