Ours begins in Tsavo, Kenya — where weaving has long been part of daily life.

Since 2014, Hadithi has grown into a network of over 1,800 women across 65 groups, working from their homes and villages, weaving baskets by hand.

Each piece is made slowly — fibre stripped, rolled, dyed, and woven over days.

No two are exactly the same. You can see the hand in each one.

Hadithi is not a project.

It’s a working system.

Orders come in. Work is made. Income is earned. And the work continues — supported by training, coordination, and long-standing relationships.

This is not occasional work.
It is ongoing production — across many groups, over time — balancing the hand of the maker with the needs of the market.

This happens in a landscape where farming is uncertain, and where people live closely with the natural environment.

Craft provides a way to work with what is there — not against it.

Hadithi connects this work to homes and stores around the world.

A name. A face. A place. A story.

A Story you can stand behind.

Income from Hadithi flows back into the work — supporting the women who make it, and the system that keeps it going.
