The artisans of Jarida Crafts in Kenya work hard to rise above challenging circumstances. Comprised of at-risk teens, young mothers and handicapped individuals, the Jarida team exemplifies the power of cottage industry as a vehicle for personal betterment.
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.
