Por qué lo recomienda la gente del lugar

This bead factory in the affluent suburb of Karen was started to provide disadvantaged women with a source of income. It now employs more than 400 women, many of them single mothers. Kazuri means “beautiful” in Swahili, and all the beads are handmade here and turned into colourful necklaces and bracelets. You can take a tour to see how it’s done. If you can’t make it out to Karen, Kazuri has a shop closer to town at the Junction Shopping Mall just off the Ngong Road.

"Kazuri" means small and beautiful in Kiswahili and this quaint little ceramics bazaar has delightful pieces of jewellery, crockery, and accessories (beaded scarves, purses etc), all locally-made right at their on-site ceramics shop. Started in 1975, this Kenyan enterprise provides employment opportunities for disadvantaged members of society and directly benefits the community and economy. I recommend this particular location because it is their factory shop, prices are attractive, and the variety of stock is much broader. Just 4.5km or a 10 minute drive away from us, this is a fantastic place to buy unique souvenirs, gifts, or collector's items, while supporting locals. Open Monday - Saturday, 8.30am - 6.00pm.
