Imani Workshop: Eldoret, Kenya


Created by a woman from Kenya who is HIV Positive, the Imani Workshop helps provide an income to others who are in the same situation. The Imani Workshop is a fair trade business that relinquishes 100 percent of its profits back to those who are employed by the workshop and make the handmade goods. Some of the resources used to make the products include mother clay, cow bone/horn, recycled paper and other materials that are indigenous to the area. While at the workshop, we toured the facility, getting a view of the people making these crafts. The gift shop is located on site, allowing visitors to purchase the goods that they have seen made in the workshop. The Imani Workshop sells an abundance of items ranging from jewelry to picture frames, even selling kitchenware!
