Creativity Meets Community
Celebrating the Voices Behind the Installations
The heart of Joy from Africa lies in the hands of the talented makers who bring their visions to life. From traditional craftsmanship to innovative design, these creators infuse their unique skills into every installation. In their own words, they share how being part of JFA has impacted their journey, strengthened their businesses, and deepened their connection to the community.
We want you and your family to feel inspired as you enjoy our eye-catching décor all around the neighbourhood. Creating a meaningful and long-lasting impact is fundamental to everything we do with Joy from Africa.
We do this with a two-pronged strategy that prioritises job creation and skills development (as we work with our community of makers) and sustainability (with a focus on repurposing, upcycling and conscious sourcing).
