Uncertain Times in Kenya - The people of Kenya had their lives and country turned upside down following post-election violence earlier this year. The unrest left a devastating wake, including hundreds of thousands of displaced people still living in camps, many who lost loved ones, and considerable damage to homes and businesses. The economic impact has been severe and far-reaching, leaving people throughout Kenya without ways to make a living while costs of basic needs rise.
Getting people back to work and earning income is a vital part of the reconstruction process. Artisans who are dependent on sales to tourists have been particularly hurt by loss of work since this major facet of Kenya's economy has come to an abrupt halt. “The impact on the Bombolulu project with 190 mostly disabled employees and casual workers is devastating since there are hardly any tourists to buy the crafts made by them...In January, sales dropped by 90% compared to the previous year,” Director, Hubert Seifert advised.
Although there has been a temporary calm in the violence, the future is uncertain.
When you purchase our African Collectibles, you are helping in the recovery efforts by providing artisans with work at this critical time. This also allows our suppliers to provide additional funds to aid in the rebuilding efforts.
