BEADS FOR BUSINESS

Empowering women with business in the Maasai Mara

The Great Plains-sponsored Naboisho Women’s Craft Group nestled in the Maasai Mara, enables women in the local communities to bring in their own household income directed towards healthcare and education for their families. Great Plains’ support for the project includes purchasing the raw materials for the products, training and sales/marketing support. The project has a direct impact on the 105 households where the women who work on the beading and soap-making project come from. In addition, a further 1,000 people directly supported by these households will benefit.

The ladies are crafting beautifully made products for Great Plains camps such as coasters, as well as building a product list to sell in the camp boutiques, such as beaded dog collars, belts, camera straps and more.
