About Sankofa Diapers

SANKOFA Diapers LLC is owned by me, Winnie (TEE), a stay-at-home mother of three, with the support of my wonderful husband. I was born and raised in Ghana, West Africa.
Growing up, I found that cloth diapers were the only option available in Ghana. But by my college years, I realized that the use of cloth diapers was slowing dying off due to the growing western influence of disposable diapers.
After coming to America, I was determined to cloth diaper my children, no matter how inconvenient it thought it was. I soon discovered, however (when my 2 beautiful daughters came along) that cloth diapering, once an inconvenient necessity, had evolved and become tremendously easier.
As I continued to cloth diaper my children, I began to realize that many of the designs out there were either too bulky, less-absorbent or had fit issues. I decided to do something about it.
Hence, the birth of the SANKOFA diaper line. A trimmer, more absorbent, and better fitting cloth diaper.
The name SANKOFA was derived from a Ghanaian EDINKRA symbol. San Kofa in the Akan Language of West Africa means going back to our roots.
Since cloth diapering is going back to the basics in regards to diapering our beloved babies, the name SANKOFA surely represents what we stand for.
Sankofa Diapers incorporate the old and the new. The basic idea of diapering without the chemicals and trash that come with modern disposable diapers; and the fun, trim and easy-to-use diapers of today without the bulk and hassle that comes with the old system of cloth diapering.
Our diapers are made responsibly through a reputable company in China. They have been tested by a CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) approved testing lab in Utah and are in compliance with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). All diapers and inserts are certified lead and phthalates free. View our Certificate of Compliance here.
As parents of little ones, we care about what comes in contact with our precious babies, and yours too.
