Zellipah, the founder of Gitzell FairTrade, has been working with artisans from several African countries since 1998. She was inspired to create Gitzell FairTrade when she came to the US to attend college and brought a suitcase full of souvenirs that she had been gifted by her nieces in Africa. She showcased the artwork at both craft fairs and festivals and saw the potential for empowering artists and supporting local communities.

Since then, Zellipah has worked directly with over 220 families to create ethical, high-quality products. Gitzell FairTrade's mission to empower communities through fair trade practices by providing fair wages, safe working conditions, and access to education and healthcare.
