For those who have never visited , Senegal is a cultured , warm , bustling and beautiful country on Africa's West coast. There are also areas of severe poverty and the average wage here is less than GBP40.00 per month. However there exists a natural spirit of enterprise and enthusiasm for an attainable brighter future.

At www.skinsandstrings.com we have built up very close relationships of mutual trust and respect with all of our suppliers. We are able to buy in quantity and above the local market rate , in bringing these items to a wider market , getting feedback from customers and musicians across the globe we are also able to guarantee quality second to none and offer advice to our suppliers on targeting specific markets. In the past year since we began trading, it has been a pleasure to see the the sustainable expansion of our suppliers'  businesses and I look forward to continuing to contribute positively in our own small way to a brighter , emergent Senegal.
