Women Behind Mama Afrika
Tina
School & Production Director
The brand works closely with the Mali-Suisse Association, a sewing training center for women founded in 2005. To financially support the “Dembagnouman - Centre de Formation de Couture,” skilled seamstresses create our vibrant accessories and clothing in their atelier, under the guidance of Tina, the school and production director since the beginning.
Production &
Teaching Team
Every Mama Afrika product is sewn by a professional who also works as a teacher at the training center. They pass on their expertise to other women, helping to shape the next generation of seamstresses.
