Chifundo UK and Chanasa have received their first two UK orders. The One World Shop in South Petherton, Somerset, has placed an order for 55 items: cushion covers, bags and adult and children's aprons. The And Albert Shop, a fair trade shop on the rows in Chester, has ordered 42 products: gardening aprons, cushion covers, bags and aprons.
The And Albert Foundation have another eight outlets in the UK. Susan Flynn has been invited to meet their buyer and hopes this will lead to further orders for Chifundo.
These products will be made in Malawi this summer. This is a big step forward for Chifundo UK and Chanasa.
