Our Story

Tabaka Chigware Youth Self-help Group began life in the 1996 with 40 artisans with a goal to secure a sustainable income stream for their community, ensuring food, shelter, medical facilities, education for their children, and clear water to drink. 

A small family community, Tabak Chigware produces the most tactile soapstone carvings and gifts.

Each piece is individually hand carved, waxed polished or painted. The finished product is simply beautiful.

The aim of the group is to raise funds by sales ensuring all children in the community and surrounding area have access to Education, shelter and medical care.
