Mamina Woven Coasters (Set of 4)

Beautifully woven from timeless Senegalese tradition, these coasters add a joyful statement to your tablescape. We handmade these coasters in the traditional coil-style weaving technique passed down for generations in our country of origin, Senegal.

They each will have slight variations in design, color, and size as this is a one-of-a-kind handmade product. Woven with elephant grass (belongs to the sweet grasses) and recycled plastic. 4" diameter, 0.25" thick

Care Instructions: Because they're constructed with natural materials, Expedition Subsahara baskets don't tend to get dirty. Let's say you spill coffee on a coaster or drop something on your basket; just use as little water as possible to wipe it off (if needed) and let it sit until it dries. Do not soak your basket or let it sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

Expedition Subsahara Mission:
Our mission is to build a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) school for girls in Senegal, West Africa. We know that when girls are educated, they can (and do!) change the world.

If you educate a man, you educate an individual. If you educate a woman, you educate a nation. - African Proverb

It's simple - we want to empower Senegalese girls through education to serve their country as doctors, scientists, engineers, leaders, whatever their hearts desire. This, in turn, will lead to economic improvements, creating a ripple effect in healthcare, infrastructure, technological innovation and the livelihood of all people.

In 2020, we hit our first major financial milestone. Twenty percent of proceeds from every Expedition Subsahara sale is set aside in the education fund. We now have the capital to purchase the land where our school will sit. In 2021, we will seek out the perfect location for the school.
