ABOUT
What began as a necessity to support artisans and marginalised communities in Southern Africa has evolved into a borderless endeavour, encompassing Imiloa Collective’s vision to transcend geographical boundaries and uplift individuals globally.
Recognizing the need for economic opportunities and support, Imiloa Collective initiated its mission in Mauritius, driven by a desire to preserve traditional crafts, promote sustainability, and foster diversity in the arts and creative sectors. As Imiloa’s impact expanded, so did its scope, reaching across continents to support underserved communities in the United States, specifically in Houston, as well as in Southern Africa and the UK. This expansion reflects Imiloa’s commitment to creating a global community united by a shared passion for creativity, craftsmanship, and social impact. Through initiatives focused on entrepreneurship, skill-building and economic empowerment, Imiloa Collective continues to bridge cultures and empower individuals from diverse backgrounds, embodying its vision of a world where borders cease to limit opportunities for growth and prosperity.
