Mission

Khaya means 'home' in Xhosa (South Africa's second most common home language). The Khaya Cookie Company was founded on this concept; a warm sentiment to which we can all relate. We're dedicated to creating jobs at our production facility in Cape Town, as well as at our Philadelphia shipping center here in the US. We provide our previously unemployed staff with on-the-job training and even more ambitious life-skills education. We cultivate a truly fulfilling work environment for those less fortunate than ourselves - just a few ingredients for more wholesome, self-sustaining lives.

We provide opportunity through baking, with a diverse line of healthy, nourishing and delicious gourmet shortbreads and granolas. And we work with great care to perfect our unique recipes as we aim to satisfy both discerning taste buds and socially conscious spirits.

This is our mission, but we don't achieve it through handouts or donations. Instead we promote a socially conscious business. Our staff remains inspired while earning an honest living. We offer them a better quality of life that comes with having a stable job, while they experience the greater rewards that accompany good work and dedication. We work hard to continue this development, growth and the coming together of diverse talent to create new opportunities and unimaginable possibility.

Our business model creates hope for the future of Khaya, the employees whose lives we continually touch and those here among us here in the United States who've been affected by an unpredictable and challenging economic decline. Help us promote this way of thinking by placing just a single order. We've baked, packaged and carefully crafted something we hope will be as memorable and meaningful to you as it was for us to make it. Or at the very least, satisfy your palate and bring a moment of contentment to your day.
