The women in his picture are from a local Masai tribe. They are committed to developing their business making beautiful beaded jewelry, belts, and bags so they can educate their daughters. They also want to have financial independence to cultural withstand pressure to submit their daughters to genital mutilation. These women are savvy and work hard. They strategize ways to bring their product to market. All proceeds from their sales are shared equally among the group.
These women also share a strong Christian faith which guides the ethics of their community and the ethos of their business. What they now need to expand is a broader market place than the two markets they are able to walk to weekly. This is the challenge for our K2K team.
