From the fire consuming our inventory in 2020, to the pandemic over the past few years you could say it has been challenging for our business. We have decided it is time for big changes at Sawa and for us to reimagine every facet of our business. This includes new and exciting designs, to reimagining some of the classics , to the very way we donate to the Mara Elephant Project and other groups close to our hearts. So, over the next few months we will be discontinuing any preorders and concentrating on giving back to our loyal and loved customers with the largest sale ever done by Sawa on all of our current inventory. Sometimes starting fresh is the best way to start over and we're excited for the next step in our journey. Thank you, as always, for your loyal support. From all of us at Sawa, Asante kwa kila kita.

WHY ELEPHANTS?


In Africa, one elephant is killed every 15 minutes.
60% of those deaths are due to poaching.
As the largest mammal in the world, elephants have only one natural predator: man. 
Elephants are highly sensitive and express grief, compassion, self-awareness, a sense of humor and altruism.  
Elephants are being killed faster than they are being born.
In a single decade, half of Africa's elephant population was lost to the ivory trade.
Without help, elephants could become extinct in our lifetime.

Which is why we give.

We donate 5% of all our proceeds to help stop this ever-growing crisis.  Every product we sell is one small step toward a safer habitat for these beautiful creatures.  


The MEP Method to protecting elephants in the greater Mara ecosystem includes anti-poaching patrols and rapid response units, elephant collaring, monitoring and research and human-elephant conflict mitigation.
