Kazuri is Swahili for “small and beautiful”
The Kazuri Bead Factory began 30 some years ago as an effort to provide employment means for single moms. Now, this is a vibbrant business employing hundreds of women (and a few men!) to make beautiful, handcrafted, beaded jewelry. These items are sold through retailers around the world.
We toured the factory, interacted with the workers and shopped extensively in their store – all in the name of supporting economic empowerment, of course!
