Hi - your project sounds great! What sort of fabric exactly are you looking for (knits / wovens?) We work with organic and conventional cotton jersey and interlock, but we also have a wider range of conventional cotton woven fabrics which are made for the local market. We make printed kangas / kitenge / kikoys etc which I think might be useful for your project. Drop me an email at prama@mantisworld.com and I can send you all the minimums and pricing information.

My job is to find a market for the African based designers. I can't be sure that the Kanga's are actually produced in africa, but give me a few days and I will find out for you
