Maadili Collective horn artisans purchase horns directly from the cattle keepers, providing revenue for local cattle keeping communities in rural Uganda.
This small scale cooperative produces a wide range of high quality, contemporary home decor and jewelry pieces. Cow horns are environmentally and sustainably sourced to recycle a byproduct from the food industry and prevent it from ending up in landfill. Nothing goes to waste.
