ARTISAN TESTIMONIALS

 “I am a mother of four children. I performed all the tasks of beading biome drop earing. It was a new technique therefore besides income, I also got the opportunity to improve my beading skill which I intent to employ in preparing Christmas gifts for my friends during this festive season”.
 
Mary Mwelu, 45 years old
 

“I am a mother of five and a grandmother of three. I performed on the biome drop earing order as a machinist. Working on the order gave me a lot of psychological satisfaction as a mother and a grand- mother since there are very few work opportunities even for the youth. I used my income to pay rent, buy food and saved some to use during Christmas festivities”.

Julia Wangui, 57 years old

 

“I am a mother of one. I worked on the biome drop earing order as a beader. I enjoyed perfoming on this order as it came a viable idea to make money both as a member of the group and on my own. I had beading skills but I found that the technique used in producing the earing was unique which greatly improved my skill.”

Beth Nyambura, 24 years old
