About the project

We are six women living in one of the poorest areas of Kenya  - very likely you have never heard of our community - Kibera. Kibera does not offer many opportunities for women like us - women who have not been able to attend school past the age of 10. But we do have skills that we learnt from our mothers and grandmothers and we now have the chance to use these skills to make a better life for ourselves and our children. We are skilled at making traditional jewellery, and we will work hard to make jewellery that people want to buy...as treasured gifts for loved ones, a part of kenyan culture, and as a symbol of how the purchase helped to change the lives of six Kibera girls.
