Fair Trade Certification
Track each kikoi from raw cotton to finished product with live status updates and artisan information at every step.
"The real-time tracking has revolutionized how we demonstrate impact to customers. When they see their purchase directly fund Amina's children's school fees or Hassan's new loom, it creates a powerful connection between consumer and artisan that goes beyond just buying a beautiful textile."
— Sarah Kibaki, Fair Trade Coordinator, Coastal Kenya Cooperative

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does the impact data update, and how accurate is it?
+
Our impact tracker updates every 30 seconds with data from verified sources including artisan cooperatives, fair trade partners, and payment processors. All metrics are verified through our transparency protocol and audited quarterly by independent fair trade organizations.
Can I see exactly how my individual purchase made an impact?
+
Yes! Each kikoi purchase comes with a unique impact ID that allows you to trace your specific contribution through our supply chain tracker. You can see which artisan created your kikoi, how much they were paid, and what community projects your purchase supported.
What does "100% transparent supply chain" actually mean?
+
We track and verify every step from cotton sourcing to final delivery. This includes farmer payments, artisan wages, fair trade premiums, transportation costs, and community investments. All data is verified by third-party auditors and blockchain technology ensures immutable records.
How do fair trade premiums work, and where do they go?
+
Fair trade premiums are additional payments (typically 10-15% above market price) that go directly to artisan cooperatives. These funds support education programs, healthcare access, infrastructure improvements, and skills training. The tracker shows exactly how these premiums are allocated in real-time.
Who are the featured artisans, and how are they selected?
+
Featured artisans are rotating highlights of active cooperative members who have consented to share their stories. Selection rotates monthly and includes both master weavers and newer artisans to show the full spectrum of our community impact. All participate voluntarily and receive additional compensation for sharing their stories.
What sustainability metrics are tracked, and why are they important?
+
We track water usage, carbon footprint, renewable energy usage, waste reduction, and biodiversity impact. Traditional kikoi production is inherently sustainable, using hand methods that consume 90% less energy than industrial textile production and supporting local cotton varieties.
How can I get involved beyond just purchasing kikois?
+
The tracker includes opportunities for direct community support through education sponsorships, equipment funding, and skills training programs. You can also participate in virtual weaving workshops, cultural exchange programs, and advocacy for fair trade textile practices.
What happens if there are delays or issues in the supply chain?
+
The tracker shows real-time status including any delays or challenges. We maintain transparent communication about weather impacts, transportation issues, or other factors. Our cooperative model includes buffer support to ensure artisans are protected during difficult periods.
How does this impact tracking benefit the artisan communities?
+
Transparency builds trust and enables premium pricing for authentic, ethical products. Artisans receive higher wages, fair trade premiums fund community development, and global visibility helps preserve traditional skills while creating sustainable livelihoods for future generations.
