Our Roots

Science meets Sustainability

AfriTech Organic Leather began as a university research idea led by Dr. Cecilia Rolence China, a materials scientist and innovator passionate about cleaner production. Her goal was to create eco-friendly tanning agents from agricultural residues like cashew husks and banana stems, replacing toxic chromium chemicals and protecting our ecosystems.

Innovation in Action

Turning science into sustainable beauty

Our patented tannin extraction technology converts plant waste into high-performance organic tanning agents. These agents are used to produce premium eco-leather, which is then crafted into stylish bags, sandals, and accessories — 100% Tanzanian, 100% sustainable.
