Our Story

In the Efik language (the 4th most popular language in Nigeria), Ekondo means community—the cornerstone of our identity. We are a lifestyle brand promoting environmental sustainability and wellness through nature and community. Our vision is Nature for everyone. That’s why it’s our goal to make Africans happier, kinder, and more creative by connecting them to Nature, themselves, and other people. We are relentless about bringing Nature into every space, transforming waste into wellness products, and cultivating a passionate community around Nature.

Our core values as a team and community are driven by The Framework of Nature. Drawing inspiration from plants, Nature’s Framework guides us to slow down, give gratitude, and take responsibility. It encourages us to be flexible, resilient, collaborative, and communicative in our approach towards enhancing the mindset and quality of life for Africans. From artistic pots and wellness products to educational games, our creations emerge from upcycled materials like plastics, bottles, and tires. Customizable for different audiences and occasions, our products bridge the gap between aesthetics and purpose. Our diverse team of designers and engineers enables us to cater to businesses, connecting people to Nature through plant installations and unique bonding experiences.

Ekondo is a social impact company driven by a collective vision to build a greener, kinder, happier, and more creative Africa. we believe in the power of conscious living, community, and sustainability as essential tools for shaping a better future. Our work is rooted in a deep commitment to the well-being of both people and the planet, with a focus on creating meaningful, lasting impact across the continent. At Ekondo, our mission is guided by 8 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which shape our approach to economic empowerment, environmental stewardship, and social innovation. From promoting sustainable lifestyles to supporting local artisans and producers, we are passionate about nurturing a culture that thrives on responsibility, creativity, and connection.
