OUR NAME Many customers ask- What does Sasik mean? It is not Swahili or Arabic but an acronym based on the founders name Saada Abdullah Suleiman Industry Karibuni. In Swahili KARIBUNI means “You are all welcome” So Please feel free to look around. OUR ORIGIN Sasik began in 1994 when Saada Abdullah Suleiman taught her self to do appliqué work and encouraged her friends and family to join her. A grant from the Tanzania Gatsby Trust, (Based in the UK) helped to set-up the workshop where 12 women learned Saada’s technique and began creating the Sasik look.
