Our Story
We are two Sister In Laws that traveled to Kenya, Africa to have their teenage children experience life without internet, cell phones, running water or electricity. We fell in love with the country, the people, and the culture. We wanted to give back to this amazing country and were awe struck by the beautiful handcrafted beaded products made by the Maasai tribe.
At first, it seemed over whelming, what can two average women from Southern California do to help when there are so many people in Africa that lack such basic supplies like water? We decided not to be defeated by the enormity of the idea, and choose to make a difference and work with one Maasai village in Kenya. The women of this village are an inspiration and posses such amazing talents in their bead work. We are proud to call them our partners. Our main goal is to Empower, Enrich and Educate the Maasai women, children, their families, and their community. We have mindfully chosen handcrafted beaded items to complement styles and decor of the conscious consumer. Our goal is to give back to the communities to help fulfill their basic needs. Our first project is to provide clean drinking water for the village where our artisans live.
We saw first hand how the terrible drought is affecting the people in rural Kenya. It is putting each person at risk of water borne illnesses and taking the lives of their livestock which is the Maasai's primary source of food and income.
Our hope is to give the Maasai the opportunity to create an alternative economy by selling their handmade goods.
We can help...one bead at a time!
All products are hand crafted by members of the Maasai tribe.
