A-Z of Shopping Fair Trade - 'K' is for Kenya

We have a range of traditional, ethnic fair trade fashion jewellery which is skilfully produced by physically challenged artisans at Bombalulu in Kenya, who would otherwise be homeless and destitute.

Their fair trade jewellery collection has received international acclaim for their exclusive African designs and excellent finishes and demonstrates fantastic fair trade crafts.

Founded in 1969, the Bombalulu Cultural centre is well worth a visit. It is a project of the Association for the Physically disabled of Kenya.

The Project trains and employs over 180 people in handicraft production and related business skills.

All hand crafted products made by these gifted artisans are displayed in a showroom where visitors are able to purchase high quality products while providing economic support.

The Cultural Centre was added in 1994 and portrays the Kenyan way of life as it existed in the past and in many cases still exists in remote areas. From Moslem to Masai dwellings and even a real live witch doctor to cure all your ills and ward off evil spirits!
