​​Beaded Handicrafts
Picture
​Jobs are hard to come by in Kenya, even more so for people with little education. People on our team like Mary and Rahel come to towns looking for opportunities to earn and find a life full of expenses: rent, food, children’s needs, then the calls from home in rural areas where siblings need school fees, harvests sometimes fail and people fall sick.
​
Earning income regularly means living a bit easier and having money to send home to areas where ladies carry water from shallow wells scratched out of the seasonal river beds.

Our prospering handicrafts business allows us to employ hardworking people including Mary and Rahel, who hope for a brighter future for themselves and their families.
​
In addition to the direct benefits of employment, profits from Water is Life Kenya’s bead business support our core mission of helping communities in southern rural Kenya solve their water problem by providing clean, sustainable water supply.

​Here are a couple of pictures from when the Newark Professional Chapter of the Engineers without Borders visited the shop and worked with our beaders.  Not only did they have fun, they learned about the process and work required to make our beautiful beaded handicrafts.

What Our donors Are Saying

After ten years of financial support, with countless follow-up reports, conversations, photos and video clips, we made a site visit to Water is Life Kenya's Amboseli operations in late November, 2018.  The visit - and our assessment of the organization - well exceeded our expectations.

A few years ago, a friend invited me to a church dinner where a Water is Life Kenya speaker gave a presentation.  It changed my life.  Intrigued, I wanted to know more.... I have since donated and visited Joyce in Kenya three times with my family.
