TIWALE SOCIAL ENTERPRISE

Tiwale is a social enterprise by The Sparkle Foundation, and we invite you to buy these beautifully handcrafted Malawian products—while making a tangible difference in the lives of artisans and communities in Malawi.

Tiwale is more than just a brand, it’s an initiative that empowers local artisans to achieve economic self-sufficiency. Our handmade bags blend traditional Malawian craftsmanship with contemporary designs, offering customers a unique product with a powerful impact. 

In 2025 The Sparkle Foundation is also launching a skills training programme, equipping women in our community with the knowledge and expertise to produce these bags themselves. This will enable them to earn a sustainable income and provide financial security for their families. 

Beyond creating opportunities for artisans, 100% of the profits from Tiwale’s sales in Dubai are reinvested into The Sparkle Foundation’s core programmes in Malawi, supporting education, nutrition, healthcare, and community development. By stocking Tiwale bags, your store will directly contribute to this life-changing work, helping The Sparkle Foundation transition from reliance on external funding to a sustainable, self-financed model.
