AFRICA BAGS TESTIMONIALS"Just
wanted you to know how strong and well-made the Africa Bags are! I've put A LOT of frozen food and meat in one......more
than a plastic grocery bag would hold........the meat bled on the bag but didn't rip! I washed the bag immediately and
Voila! the bag was good to go again! So impressed was I with the bags that our church, Mtn View
Presbyterian in Loveland, CO., have purchased nearly 100 bags to support this GREAT venture in African villages. We
have sold almost all of the bags in a short time. Our church logo is printed on one side with the Africa Bags logo on
the other.......we both get advertisement for supporting villagers as well as saving money (our grocery stores may soon charge
10 cents/bag). It's a wonderful way to "Help Us/ Help Them/ Help us" which is Africa Bags slogan!"

"After reading about Africa Bags in 'Family Circle' magazine, I was eager to place an order and support this
wonderful organization. Apparently I was not the only one! All of the bags were wait-listed and as soon as they became available
I was notified via email. My package arrived within a few days of ordering, but unfortunately one of the bags had to
be exchanged. Communicating through email, Holly was quick to reply and offer immediate solutions. The level of attention
I received was remarkable! It's nice to see that such a high level of personal customer service still exists in this
increasingly electronic world."

I bought my Batik African Print Bag about a month ago and
have been using it ever since. It is great for travelling, as it is lightweight and can be rolled up small inside a
backpack or suitcase, but it is strong and durable enough to carry heavy loads! The strap is long enough to across my
shoulder and the inner pockets are useful for keeping wallets, cell phones, etc. I've bought several fabric bags made
in Africa from different organizations, but this one is by far the most all-around useful. I carry it with me everywhere
and recommend it to anyone!

"I love my Africa Bags!!! I enjoyed giving my Africa
Bags as gifts last year and I love using them myself. I use them all the time; they seem to be the right size for a
lot of things. They were my gift wrapping for Christmas gifts and everyone has commented on how much they like them.
I see my friends and family using them all the time and it brings me great joy to see them being put to use. I have
been pleasantly surprised with how sturdy they are."

"I have been so pleased with
my Africa Bags! When I first heard about this organization, I was thrilled to find someone actuallly doing something
to help improve lives. I am concerned about the environment, so it's great to have a cloth bag to use, but I am more
concerned about people! Unlike some reusable bags available in chain stores, I know who is making these bags,
and that they are earning a living wage. I ordered my bags and they came very quickly. I was thrilled
with the variety of fabrics used for the handles, and the durability of the bags. I got nervous when the local grocery
clerk overstuffed one of the bags with heavy objects, but it held up without any problem! I am looking forward to using
these bags for many years to come. Thanks!"
