About Us

Mavondo is a global organisation established and run by Africans to support the economic advancement of Africa.

Through this online store we are giving the world easy access to talented African artists, designer and manufacturers.  For far too long this talent has been suppressed or unfairly exploited.

Mavondo is headed by myself Lawson Mavondo.  I count myself fortunate to have been born in Zimbabwe.  Thanks to my wonderful parents, I was blessed with good opportunities, that lead to me attaining a good education.  This lead me to working and achieving great success in Europe and Australia.  

Mavondo is one of the way of the ways I'm giving back and honouring my heritage.

Through this enterprise we are sourcing, nurturing and financially supporting talented Africans.  

Living and trading in Africa is significantly harder than in most other parts of the world.  So with the skills and connections I've developed from all over the world, I'm equipping talented, up & coming Africans with resources and opportunities to derive an income from outside their home land.  Simply put, we're leveraging the internet in the same way as Europeans, Americans and Asians. 

We operate in accordance with FAIR TRADE standards and our head office is located in Melbourne, Australia.
