Thusana

Thusana We are an ecommerce store - with a difference. So that together we can improve the lives of humble, hard-working people We have a dream.

Our mission is to share the beautiful stories behind every product that has been carefully selected to be part of the Thusana movement. To see more South Africans using what’s in their hearts and hands to help break the cycle of poverty. Too many people are living in abject poverty and it’s just not right. When you choose to buy a Thusana product for the first time, you become part of our beautifu

l and messy story of changing lives. So we invite you to take your time watching and reading the stories behind the products you’ll find here. Because it’s the people that matter and we’d love them to inspire you to use what’s in your hands and heart to create a better future for those around you. God has given all of us gifts and talents and he desires for them to be used to their full potential. Thusana means ‘help each other’ in Sesotho – and the people that produce the products you’ll find on our website are doing exactly that. They’re working together to bring hope in situations that others may see as hopeless. Thusana is a celebration of local talent and the tenacity of its people.

Meet the Yem-b team of talented crafters. These are just a few of the lovely people that make the very creative, handcrafted products you’ll find on our website.

They live up to their name of ‘Your end, my beginning’ (Yem-b) by always looking for clever ways to use materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Take a look at their story and we can’t wait to share more of their ever evolving range of products as soon as they’re available on the website!
