Empowering Kenyan Artisans: Join the Journey

Having lived in Kenya for over 30 years and built my experience in hotel management, excursions, and owning my own boutique, I’ve witnessed the immense talent and creativity of local artists. Now, I’m combining my experience with a mission to create high-quality, handmade clothing, shoes, and jewelry crafted entirely from local materials by Kenyan artists.

This project isn’t just about making beautiful products; it’s about giving Kenyan craftsmen and women the opportunity to showcase their skills, gain meaningful employment, and contribute to their community. Every item will be a reflection of the culture, tradition, and passion of the people who make them, using natural, locally sourced materials.

Your support will directly help train and employ local artists, fund the purchase of sustainable materials, and set up a small-scale production facility. It will also enable us to expand the reach of Kenyan-made goods to international markets, allowing us to create even more job opportunities and grow this impact.

In return, supporters will be the first to receive exclusive, handmade items, from jewelry to fashion pieces, each telling a unique story of craftsmanship and culture. Higher-tier backers will have the chance to collaborate on custom designs and get one-of-a-kind products directly from the artists themselves.

Crowdfunding gives us the chance to do something extraordinary together. Your contribution isn’t just a donation—it’s an investment in a brighter future for Kenyan artists. By backing this project, you’re not only helping create beautiful products; you’re empowering individuals and giving them the recognition and opportunity they deserve.

Together, we can show the world the beauty of Kenyan craftsmanship. You’re not just a supporter; you’re a co-creator in this journey. Let’s make this vision a reality.
