Testimonials
-
"As an advocate for environmental and social justice, I find volunteer work with Uhuru Furniture deeply satisfying. I love knowing that the time and energy I commit to this local initiative contributes to African self-determination and empowerment around the globe. At once, I can help recycle housewares in Philadelphia and raise funds and enthusiasm for resolving education, health, and economic disparities worldwide."
- Jacqueline B., Philadelphia, PA

"It doesn't get any better than to have Uhuru Pies on the table for Thanksgiving--they taste divine, they make a difference, and the price is right all at the same time. That's the true spirit of the holiday! Don't buy just one or you will regret it!!"
- Michelle P. and Andre K., Tampa, Fl
