Craft Manufacture
& Excellence
Japan has its Living National Treasures. France has its Maîtres d’Art. Africa and the island world have extraordinary craft traditions but no equivalent framework to certify, transmit, and commercialise them at the level they deserve.
Mabamaore works to bridge this gap.
Made By Africa
na wa Maoré
Mabamaore was born from a conviction: island territories hold extraordinary potential for economic development through culture, craft, and innovation.
From Mayotte to the Swahili Coast, from the Indian Ocean to Southeast Asia, island communities share common challenges isolation, limited infrastructure, brain drain and common strengths: rich heritage, unique biodiversity, resilient populations, strategic positioning.
We operate across European structural funds (Interreg, FEDER, FSE+), cultural programmes (Creative Europe, ACP-EU Culture), and international instruments (UNESCO, Horizon Europe), with field experience from Mayotte, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, Mozambique, and the Comoros.
