Gogo Olive started in November 2008 as a response to the huge unemployment problem in Zimbabwe. We recognise the sense of value and purpose that having employment brings, as well as the obvious financial benefits. Being a part of Gogo Olive gives our ladies the opportunity to provide for themselves and their families and to experience the security and independence that comes with this. Our aim at Gogo Olive is to create beautiful and unique products that are completely handmade, ethically produced, fairly traded and bring joy!As well as providing the ladies with employment, we want to also support and address any physical, emotional, practical and spirituals needs they may have. Gogo Olive is a Scottish Charity SC041281, we have a board of Trustees based in Scotland who do a great job of fundraising throughout the year. As well as this we receive monthly and one-off donations from individuals and families from around the world. This all plays an important part in enabling this project to function.
