The soapstone found in the Tabaka Hills of Western Kenya is quarried, carved & painted by an Artisans` co-operative. Profits fund the education of members` children & community healthcare.
The group face major problems: many in the local community have malaria and HIV / AIDS. Mud & stick homes have no electricity & drought is a growing issue.
We work closely with the group to develop & market their exciting range of stone & wood items, fashion, jewellery and more.
Every item you purchase will be re-ordered from our partners in Kisii
We also return a percentage of our profits for each item directly back to the group.
We are proud to support
As each item is individually made there may be variations in the pattern / colour of the stone
