Our Story
Our founder, Theresa Akua Fenn, was born and raised in a third world country. She knows first-hand the struggles that women and their families face in poverty-stricken countries, so she has dedicated her career to making a difference. Theresa firmly believes in empowering women by providing them with opportunities through sourcing raw materials from them.
Many years of retail experience, a deep appreciation for elegant hand made natural products, and a passion for empowering the less
fortunate are the cornerstones of Akua’s Boutique.
Products for the Greater Good!
We work directly with local communities of women in Madagascar to source sustainable raffia materials. These are then hand crafted by Theresa herself into the final finished product. Having formed relationships with many of these women, Theresa understands the positive impact that sourcing these raw materials from them has on their welfare and community.
Make a purchase! Make a difference!
“My vision for Akua’s Boutique is to share the elegant craftsmanship of raffia products created from materials that are sourced from local communities in
Madagascar to help provide opportunities that improve their welfare.”
