HOW WE WORK WITH ARTISANS
At Obakki, our artisan partners are part of our extensive global family. We’re in touch on a regular basis and their quality of life—and ability to sustain themselves and their communities—will always be our top priority as a company. Over half of our artisan partners are supported by the Obakki Foundation - meaning we direct 100% of our net proceeds from their products back into what is needed for their community. To date, we have created over 4,000 water wells as well as many education, livelihood and health initiatives through ourpartnerships!
MEET OUR FOUNDER
Treana Peake’s passion for travel and eye for design, combined with her lifelong dedication to making a difference in the world, inspired her to launch Obakki in 2005. From remote villages in Mexico to the world's largest refugee resettlement area in Uganda, Treana consistently forms lasting relationships with Obakki’s artisan partners. She is committed to preserving, progressing and celebrating diverse craft cultures from around the world—while also creating sustainable change.
