Mission: The creation of a network of consumers and communities that promotes sustainable economic development through an embracement of Brazilian handicraft.
Our network entails Tekoha's value proposition; a combination of business and community development that enables conscious consumers all over the world to contribute to sustainability through beautifully handmade products with a story to tell. Tekoha started from the firm belief that in a network of artisan communities and conscious consumers, the traditional system could be changed from a zero sum game to a win-win situation. Why choose between making * and making a difference? The handicraft traded within Tekoha's network promotes environmental and social sustainability in a financially viable way.
Throug the creation of a network of clients and artisan communities Tekoha brings over 600 artisan products to several high-income markets. Tekoha reaches its clients through four distinctive channels, namely retail, e-commerce, B2B, and export. By applying basic business intelligence to the culturaly rich products made by the artisans Tekoha has managed to generate a significant income stream for the communities in our network. It enables them to sustain their lifestyles, lifestyles that maintain Brazilian culture, nature, and traditions. As such, our activities conform to the triple bottom line. People, planet, and profit, all factors of sustainability are represented in the way we like to approach community development at Tekoha.
