My name is Linda. I came across these women one day in Kibera. They were sitting together, making the most beautiful jewellery. I asked them if I could buy something as a gift for a friend back home, and they insisted on giving it to me for free. I spoke to some colleagues about these girls, showed them the necklace, and they were just as excited as I was about their skill, their appreciation of colour and their skill in combining traditional and modern design. We decided to approach these women and offer our help in getting a small business off the ground. They were delighted and have thrown themselves into making this a success. These women have truly inspired me, and every time I wear one of their necklaces, I feel thankful that I have been part of their story.
