What: MK Advisors announces the launch of Mana Boxes. These quarterly subscription boxes feature handcrafted, one-of-a-kind pieces created by local women artisans in South Africa. Each Mana subscription is a chance to bring a woman’s story to life and into the subscriber’s home. The products in each box are crafted by hand, so no two are alike. Each box features stylish accessories, décor, and fashions—perfect for any lifestyle. Amplify these women’s voices and join Mana, where every curated piece tells a story.

In the wake of COVID-19, many small business owners across the world are struggling to make ends meet. These amazing women craft intricate products and pour themselves into their livelihoods. When individuals back the Mana Kickstarter, make a donation, or purchase a Mana subscription, they are empowering a woman to grow her business, which benefits her family and community. It creates a far-reaching impact, far beyond the cost of a box.

Kickstarter: The Mana Kickstarter will support the South African women artisans, shipping and freight, product costs, fulfillment and so much more. MK Advisors is supporting startup costs to obtain the product from artisans and bring it to the U.S. for the Mana launch. The goal of the Kickstarter is to generate $100,000 to support a sustainable business model and to expand the brand to U.S. artisans. If the goal is not met, Mana will not receive the much-needed funds to assist the women entrepreneurs in their time of greatest need.

When: Through December 15, 2020
