Our Mission

Usafii’s success is not simply measured by profit.  Our success is measured by empowerment. Empowerment Organizations such as AKDN are Usafii’s mission in action. Sales of Usafii products support communities by financially contributing to the AKDN. Usafii invests in our communities because it is our moral responsibility and to ensure African resources empower African communities. The goal is to alleviate poverty and encourage gender equality. AKDN is an organization that does just that, and percentage of ALL Usafii sales goes to supporting the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN).

AKDN believes a vibrant and competent civil society is the cornerstone of a healthy and prosperous nation. It is essential to improving the quality of human life because people themselves know best how to drive progress. Yet, in many parts of the world, civil society suffers from a dearth of technical knowledge, human resources and financial means. To address these gaps, for over 50 years the AKDN has been carefully building robust institutions that experiment, adapt and accommodate diversity.

Usafii's contribution to AKDN help empower several Education-Based Projects, Health, Humanitarian Assistance and Infrastructure Development. All of AKDN's projects empower various communities such as: East Africa, West Africa, Middle East, Central Asia, Far East, and South Asia to provide their skills and knowledge to the rest of the world and rise out of poverty through self reliance.
