Our story

Kibébé was founded by an intercultural couple--Florisa and Innocent Magambi.
Florisa is originally from Italy. Innocent was born a refugee from Burundi. The couple found their common purpose and united in Malawi, where they started There is Hope Malawi in 2007, a charity that aims to empower refugees and local Malawians through vocational training programs and college scholarships.
Kibébé stemmed out of There is Hope as its social enterprise branch to directly provide jobs to the people they serve and fund its programs.

Their mission is to economically empower these families to support themselves and create inclusive products that can be enjoyed by anyone from any cultural background. Besides directly providing jobs, Kibébé donates a portion of its profits to vocational training programs and college scholarships for refugees by There is Hope.
