WHY FUNKY OUMA & SOUT AFRIKA?

We are Funky Ouma, a woman-owned, South African business producing premium, all-natural salts, spice blends, oils, and curated gift sets. Founded by a grandmother-daughter duo, our mission is rooted in Cape Town’s culinary heritage and a commitment to creating “junk-free” products that are both healthy and inspiring.

Our values and way of working reflect a strong commitment to the ethical and environmental practices that Oxfam expects:

Commercials: We are well priced and we can offer Oxfam very healthy margins at reasonable RRPs.

Brand Appeal: Our range is beautifully branded and eye-catching, especially when merchandised as a colourful collection.

Target market: Apart from being affordable & everyday kitchen staples, the products make ideal gifts for all men and women, not just foodies.

Proven Success: The products have already proven themselves to appeal to a wide range of global & British consumers.

Stock on Hand: We have fresh stock available in the UK, ready to ship.

Human Rights & Fair Work Practices: As a women-founded and owned company, we actively promote gender equality (more than 80% of our staff are female) and safe working conditions. Our team is supported with fair wages and a collaborative culture that values wellbeing and personal development.

Environmental Responsibility: We invest in eco-friendly packaging (tins and recyclable cardboard), and our production is focused on minimizing waste and using sustainable raw materials. We are FSSC 22000 ensuring robust standards for food safety and responsible operations.

Equitable Business Model: Our ownership structure empowers women, and our growth strategy includes supporting local communities through sourcing and job creation. By reinvesting in product development and sustainability, we seek long-term value for both our business and the communities we serve.

Product Fit: Our distinctive, reusable tins and gifting solutions resonate with conscious consumers who value both quality and purpose – products designed to generate positive impacts for people and planet.

Mission: We are committed to continuous improvement and to moving beyond compliance, striving for leadership in human rights, environmental responsibility, and equitable business practices.
