Supporting Women and Children with Albinism

Mama Hive seeks to love, support and empower women who have been marginalized because of albinism or other disabilities. Albinism is a genetic skin condition and in Tanzania its association with witchcraft practices has led to people with albinism (and their mothers) facing abuse, stigma and attack. We want to challenge this mindset and celebrate the value of every life, believing everyone is created with love and given unique gifts and purpose.

Pure, Natural Ingredients

Mama Hive products are made with pure, natural ingredients. We work with local beekeepers to source naturally harvested pure beeswax and honey. Our balms are chemical-free, using natural oils such as neem, coconut and shea butter, with naturally restorative properties. Our Kitenge BeesWraps are sustainably made to help us all be more environmentally friendly at home

Quality That Works

Mama Hive products are hand-crafted with love and care. The women make a range of beeswax products from hand-dipped candles and stamped batiks to natural beeswax balms and Kitenge BeesWraps. Women are trained to craft unique quality products that work well for our customers and care for the environment. Our workshop is a hive of activity and place of community, strength and support.
