I saw this idea from a book.
I was unemployed, so I decided to try it.
And then the product started moving and people liked it, and so it became some sort of a
little business.
What it does, it feeds people.
My product feeds people.
So as much as they buy this product, then they should be sure that some Africans or some
Kenyans are feeding, are getting food, are getting shelter, and are getting clothing.
Here we like watching, we don't want to be idle, you know.
When we work hard, we see that there are some fruits.
What makes us very much happy is when you say that my product is nice.
You admire it, and you say that you have done it well, and you give me some good amount
of money.
That's when I become very much happy.
So Freedom Artisans is a platform where we are linking up Kenyan artisans with our own
staff and helping them create unique items, and in turn we sell these unique items abroad.
When you hold one of our products in your hand, what you're really holding is a lot
of skill, a lot of transformation, and a lot of hard work in each and everyone of our products.
When people get any form of employment here in Kenya, it creates a sense of hope to that
family and their lives are really transformed.
The profits that come from these businesses also subsidize the cost of school fees in
our school for the students, and later get a good job in life and go back to their communities
and empower them.
It helped me so much because I'm making my things with my family and my neighbor.
So it helped me to buy material, to grow, and to take my children to school.
It is important for me because I educate my children, I get my food from there, I address
it to other businesses.
That's why it is important to have this business here.
I have one brother and there is our all sisters.
I get happy when people buy the stuff because it's actually the main source of income and
it has helped us all study.
My mom has made it herself and I feel better because I've been involved in making them.
When I'm starting this job, I'm not going back again, I'm not going to find where I can stay.
By the way, I have my house now through this job, so I'm so happy.
You can join in this mission by being part of our sales team, hosting a house party or
even coming to Kenya and seeing the work for yourself.
This product reminds us, it's connected.
My children now in school, I can feed them without problem and I've got them a shelter
and you know, a happy family is always together.
