The talented artisans at Crafts Caravan in Kenya brighten hand carved soapstone toucan keepsake sculptures with colourful hand painted finishes.

Swahili Modern believes that adaptation helps traditional African craft forms thrive. Artisans can earn a living from the comfort of home by doing creative work, so they have options beyond seeking work in cities. Through export, skills inherited through generations, sometimes with deep-rooted cultural significance, continue to bring meaning, stability, and a sense of pride to entire communities.
