NOVICA Multicolor Decorative Wood Mask

Our Mission: Spreading Happiness

At Novica, we strive to improve lives and uplift communities through our work with artisans. By purchasing handmade products, our customers contribute to making a positive impact in the world. Since its inception in May 1999, Novica was founded on the dream of creating a better environment for artisans; we believe that enhancing their lives ultimately leads to a better world for everyone. We envision a future that honors artisans who dedicate their time and skill to crafting unique items by hand, where storytelling is cherished, and personal touches are celebrated. Core values like love, respect, and inclusivity drive our mission.

Why We Love What We Do

At the heart of our organization is love. Our mission is centered on empowering artisans and preserving global cultures, promoting economic sustainability in artisanal communities. Historically, artisans around the world have not received fair compensation for their work; Novica addresses this issue by directly connecting artisans to customers, eliminating multiple layers of middlemen. This approach allows artisans to earn a fair income while offering customers the chance to access unique handmade products at lower prices.

What Makes Our Products Stand Out

All products offered by Novica are both handmade and fair trade, crafted by identifiable artisans. One such masterpiece is the Handmade Colorful Sese Wood and Brass African Mask, created by Ghanaian artisan Abdul Aziz Mohamadu. This mask, carved from sese wood, expresses Africa's rich tradition of mask-making. It features a vibrant range of colors and intricate etched line designs. Each wall mask not only serves as an exquisite home decor piece but also represents the unique artistry of its creator.

Meet the Artisan Behind the Art

Abdul Aziz Mohamadu joined Novica in 2010, and his journey with us has significantly impacted his life and community. His sales have allowed him to pay for his children's education and cover his living expenses. Abdul has even managed to purchase land to build a house and aspires to establish an art and craft institute for youth, aiming to combat poverty in his community. His commitment to helping others extends to supporting several orphans with their schooling. Recent challenges, such as aiding a worker in need after an accident, highlight his dedication to community welfare, bolstered by the income he earns through Novica.

Supporting Artisans and Communities

As a certified B Corporation, Novica meets high standards for social accountability while working tirelessly to empower artisans and spread happiness globally. Our commitment to creating value for customers aligns with our responsibility to our environment and communities. Each gift you purchase from Novica not only brings joy to your loved ones but also enhances the lives of artisans worldwide.

We have already contributed over USD 124 million to artisans, and we see this momentum continuing to grow. By connecting with passionate customers, we aim to further change the lives of artisans globally, ensuring their traditions and craftsmanship are preserved and celebrated. Join us in fostering a future where artisans can thrive, their unique stories are shared, and their exceptional creations are honored. Together, we can turn this vision into a vibrant reality.

Impacting Livelihoods

Every purchase from our artisans creates lasting change. Many of our artists significantly improve their livelihoods by collaborating with us, employing others, and preserving cultural traditions through their work. With each unique and authentic creation, you not only receive a beautiful product but also contribute to a life-changing mission.
