Bead and Wire Elephant Metallic Blue

Artisan: Hesbon & Naomi

Size: 8" wide x 4.5" tall

This product was handmade by Hesbon and Naomi, a married couple who live  in the Kibera slum. Working out of their one-room home, they make handmade beaded animals and this is the only source of income for themselves and their three children. They are passionate about their work and about showing that something beautiful can be created within a slum.

The Uweza Shop promotes Kibera-based artistans and creatives by marketing their products and increasing their exposure. The proceeds from the sales of this piece support both the artisans and Uweza Foundation's programs for women and girls living in Kibera.
