Support Aids charities in Africa by buying African art online
Welcome to the Light from Africa Foundation, a non-profit organisation (NPO) that aims to empower historically disadvantaged South Africans - and especially children affected by HIV/Aids - through the creation and sale of handcrafted African ceramic artworks. These fine artworks portray an intricate fusion of the traditional and the modern - of true African flavour and unique local flair.
Beauty and functionality are masterfully blended to create world-class designs, and artistic expression is revealed in every colour, texture and brushstroke.

"Hope for the future gives us power to make a difference in the present"
Light from Africa's handmade clay sculptures, bowls and vessels, celebrate the diverse African culture that is characteristic of our country's heritage. As each one-of-a-kind creation can be used as a candleholder, these centrepieces truly deliver warmth and light to those who purchase them, as well as to all those supported through the proceeds of sales.
Explore the history of African ceramic art, or learn more about the establishment of the Light from Africa Foundation - an organisation that has transformed artistic expression into a means of support for those worst affected by HIV/Aids.
