Who we are

The Tsitsi Foundation is a grassroots charity empowering women in rural Zimbabwe by supporting traditional craft-making and clean water access.

Through the sale of handwoven baskets and artisan goods in Australia, we provide sustainable income for female weavers and fund life changing water projects in their communities.

Every product tells a story of resilience, dignity, and hope. Named for the strong women who inspired it, Tsitsi is driven by a belief in practical giving, cultural connection, and local leadership. We exist to create meaningful change — one basket, one bracelet, one well, and one woman at a time. Join us in making a difference.

We proudly partner with the Jafuta Foundation in Zimbabwe to co-develop long-term water solutions. Together, we are building water wells that support entire villages – improving health, opportunity, and independence for future generations.

Founded by Anastazia Uglow, Tsitsi (which means ‘compassion’ in the Shona language) is a registered charity in Australia.
