Our mission is and always will be: To empower the disenfranchised Promote a spirit of reciprocity Cultivate a culture of equitable exchange Our handmade, gold plated jewellery are forged with love by the very best artisans from the heart of Kenya. The artisans making our pieces are youth from disadvantaged backgrounds, hoping to turn their lives around, developing new skills that will keep them away from the biggest threats to young men and women in slum areas - the prospects of a life of crime. Currently, we work with artisans in two slums; Kibera, the largest urban slum on the African continent and forth largest in the world as well as Baba Dogo, located on the fringes of Nairobi. Through their skill and care we are able to ensure quality and also meet the personal desires and requirements of our customers.
