By purchasing one of our pieces of beadwork you support:

❥ A woman in a remote, dry rural part of south-east Kenya where there are very few ways to make a living. Beading means a vital income for her — and for the 1,900 artisans across 64 women's groups that Hadithi now supports. The money goes a long way, especially in the dry season, when food gets scarce. Beading provides her with some financial stability, money to pay school fees and buy food.

❥ The conservation of a threatened forest and its wildlife. When harvests fail, people turn to other ways to provide an income for the family. It is not uncommon in Tsavo that people turn to cutting trees to turn them into charcoal, or poaching wildlife in the area. An income for beading is the alternative we can offer.

❥ And of course, to keep the beautiful ancient tradition of Maasai beading part of the present and the future!

Each Creative Design basket is genuinely one-of-a-kind. Rather than following a fixed pattern, the weaver chooses her own colours and motifs as she works — so no two baskets in this collection are ever quite alike. When you order, you're choosing a colourgroup and size, and trusting one of our artisans to create something original within it.

This is the same creative freedom we give our beaders on our Creative Design bracelets — a chance for the maker's own eye and imagination to shine, rather than repeating someone else's design.
