Nakupenda: Designing Love into the Essentials

Born in Chengdu, with roots in China & the US, Nakupenda is a social enterprise. Our name means "I love you" in Swahili, reflecting our core: love through design.

We focus on essential yet overlooked elements in life – as vital as water. We believe human-centered design and engineering can shine a light, making life better and our planet healthier.
