The Siafu Home workshop in Nairobi, Kenya has had a tragic flood, destroying their 12 handmade looms and putting production at a standstill for 38 artisans. With livelihoods at risk, we are reaching out to our community of friends, customers, makers and donors to show our support for Siafu Home today.

Goal: Build 12 handmade looms @ $750 each = $9,000

Additional Target: Get the Team back to work quickly! = $9,000

Warping Machine @ $6,500

Spooling Machine @ $2,500

*Additional funds will be donated into an employee pension & savings program.

If you love Siafu Home, their team of 38 Kenyans, or if you have ever felt inspired by their handmade creations and the beauty they bring to our table and lives each day you know how much we need them to exist in this world. Show your support today and please donate what you can and leave a message of support.

Help this small business from our community get back on their feet.

Siafu Home has been a location for hosting community mixers and demonstrating the ingenuity of Kenyan artisans.
