Why are we different

Banana Boat provides work opportunities for local crafters, small entrepreneurs and women’s groups.

We pay on delivery and advance capital to buy materials, as well as giving interest free loans. We favour hand-made over factory made, natural over synthetic. We like using pure and natural materials and selling recycled items.

Our paper products (www.papercraftafrica.com) are hand made in Uganda using recycled paper and natural fibres. Our beautiful recycled paper bead jewellery made out of old cereal packets and magazines. Our coloured glass is hand blown

out of old wine bottles. If you are happy with your purchase from Banana Boat then we are happy that we can keep our producers busy and help them to maintain a regular income following the principles of Fair Trade. Banana Boat is a

sustainable and independent business.
