About Baobab Batik

Baobab Batik, a social enterprise nestled in the heart of Eswatini, Southern Africa, traces its roots back to 1991 when visionary founder Els Hooft embarked on a journey fueled by her passion for the art of batik. Motivated by a deep desire to empower women and create sustainable work opportunities, she set out to weave together artistry and social impact in a harmonious tapestry.

Over the years, Baobab Batik has blossomed into a flourishing enterprise, proudly providing full-time employment to a dedicated team of 35 artisans. Guided by their collective talent and unwavering commitment, they breathe life into each batik creation, infusing it with soul and a captivating vibrancy that captures the essence of their homeland.

Beyond its artistic pursuits, Baobab Batik serves as a catalyst for positive change within the community. By offering sustainable work opportunities, they uplift and empower women, enabling them to contribute to their families and the local economy. Each brushstroke and waxed line becomes a brushstroke of hope and empowerment, nurturing a sense of purpose and unlocking the artisans' full potential.

Baobab Batik stands as a testament to the transformative power of passion, creativity, and social responsibility.
