Resource Center for Poor Artisan women in Kenya
Our vision in Kenya is to create a resource center that is a safe space for the women artisans to learn, grow and support each other. We hope to provide the resources needed in making quality products, training in ancient skills, design, business, arts, culture etc. We hope to be a haven of community and women empowerment by providing education, food, nutrition and support for entrepreneurship and economic freedom by providing lasting solutions to the unique challenges affecting poor artisan women in rural Kenya.
We also hope to create a quality, authentic fashion and art brand in the USA to be a market for the artisan made products and sustain our resource center and our cause.
#endperiodpoverty | Menstrual Hygiene
Girls miss a week of school every month during their period. That, plus the shame and taboo associated with menstruation. Sawa Sawa initiated the end period poverty initiative in 2020 to help girls stay in school and receive a consistent education.
We believe that if girls stay in school, the get a chance to grow mentally, physically, emotionally and have choices for their life. Lack of menstruation kits hinders girls from fulfilling their potential, by eliminating that, we raise a generation that can eliminate most other poverty induced issues.
