Supporting Education Through Craft
Our impact extends beyond the artisans. We also focus on empowering the next generation of Kenyan craftsmen and women. Through a partnership with schools, in line with the CBC curriculum, we train students in rural and low-income communities to make simple, marketable items like bracelets and beanies.
For many of these students, the income from selling these items is their lifeline—covering school fees, uniforms, and other educational expenses. This not only keeps them in school but also equips them with essential entrepreneurial skills that they can use to create brighter futures for themselves.
