Bambooka (Eye Wear Africa)

eye-wear africa ltd is the exclusive distributors of bambooka sunglasses. this british based social enterprise was formed by a small group of innovative entrepreneurs with a social conscience. the company seeks to use all proceeds purely to the benefit of people in africa. none of its employees are paid a salary, we are all volunteers. in 2012 we will be helping to establish a plantation of bamboo at amasame, in south africa’s transkei region. we believe that the only way to really help africa is to set up a sustainable business there, using local resources and skills, to break ongoing cycles of dependency. our partner charity is pepe - please see www.pepe.org.uk there currently are 3 designs of bambooka sunglasses: sahara – available in small and large size (the large size is available in 4 colours: natural bamboo, dark brown, black and red) zambezi – available in natural bamboo and dark brown ubuntu – available in dark brown bambookas are made by real people, not machines or robots,
