Founder Jasz & Cheikh believe supporting women in general is a powerful way to transform communities. They have always found strength within the diverse community of other women who have rallied around them. Jasz's goal with Tackussanu was to start a business that would not only give her three daughters a sense of pride and stability, but that would help female artisans in Senegal access the global market.

The entire process allows our artisans to extend their market from local to global, allowing them the opportunity for independence and empowerment. Tackussanu Senegal baskets are handmade by the artisan women in Rural Areas of Senegal.  These Artisan women have skills and traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. They work from home, usually weaving under mango trees in the late afternoon and evening. Thank you for supporting their work and allowing their traditions to be passed down through families and into the global marketplace.
