THE KUSINTHA COLLECTION

Kusintha

Create change, support Kusintha

Life-changing projects in Africa

Kusintha is an ongoing support project that was started in 2018 by Christian Bitz and his girlfriend Lisette Rützou. The project focuses on creating change in the poorest parts of the world through initiatives such as securing crops, providing clean drinking water, and ensuring children are able to go to school. Part of the proceeds from every sale in the BITZ Kusintha collection is donated to life-changing projects in Africa.

Good Hope Village

Good Hope Village helps orphans. The organisation was founded in 1989 and started out with 12 children in Nairobi, Kenya. Since then, Good Hope has grown and expanded to encompass housing, school buildings and a multi-purpose hall in Good Hope Village, which is in a rural area not far from Nairobi. Today, some 140 children and young people live in the village or have moved out to pursue secondary education. Over then course of its history, Good Hope has helped more than 1,000 children move on in life.

100 % of donations go to the children

All funds go to the children and no donated money is used for administrative work etc. In partnership with Good Hope Village, Kusintha is making a unique difference for orphans in Kenya. These children are often traumatised, abused and have seen and experienced the worst. At Good Hope Village, they are given a second chance, the opportunity for a better future, care, support and, above all, hope.

The resent results

The Kusintha donations have allowed Good Hope to buy a school bus, while the project’s ongoing goal is to donate money through the sale of Kusintha products.

Good Hope’s former results

More than 50 students have had their university education paid for, over 1000 secondary school students have had their school fees paid for, and more than 1000 primary school children have received uniforms from Good Hope.

Good Hope covers school fees and school uniforms as well as daily expenses such as food, clothing and hygiene items.

NEWS THIS SEASON

 

 

 

Kusintha is a support project that was started in 2018 by Christian Bitz and his girlfriend Lisette Rützou. Kusintha means ‘change’ in Chichewa, a language spoken in Malawi. The aim of Kusintha is to bring about change in some of the world’s poorest countries, including through vital projects such as the establishment of local wells with clean drinking water, the securing of crops, kindergartens and opportunities for schooling.

- a stunning look

Having a shorter distance to the well frees up time, allowing women greater opportunities to work and giving children better opportunities to attend school. Work has been ongoing for several years in Malawi, where Kusintha has helped to establish 9 wells. Kusintha has now moved to Zimbabwe, where ambitious new activities have been launched in collaboration with DanChurchAid. The project aims to donate DKK 1 million over a five-year period

THIS IS WHAT YOU SUPPORT

CREATE CHANGE
SUPPORT KUSINTHA

We’re launching two new items in the Kusintha glass range: a vase and a set of tealight holders with the same beautiful, fluted design as the jug, tumblers and water bottles of the range. Both new items are made of solid-coloured glass and are available in five colours: green, amber, pink, blue and smoke, the same colours found throughout the BITZ universe. And remember: when you buy something from the Kusintha collection, you’ll also be supporting vulnerable children in the poorest parts of the world.
