We are a women’s organization based in Bomet County, Kenya, dedicated to empowering local women by harnessing the potential of natural resources available in our environment. Our organization was founded by a group of visionary women who aspired to improve their livelihoods through sustainable practices and value addition to raw materials.
Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to create economic opportunities for women by transforming readily available raw materials into high-quality, handcrafted products. We believe in the power of traditional craftsmanship, environmental sustainability, and community-driven development.

Our Products
We specialize in handcrafted items made primarily from sisal, a durable and eco-friendly fiber extracted from the leaves of the sisal plant. Our product range includes:
- Sisal Coasters: Beautifully handwoven to add a rustic charm to your dining experience.
- Placemats: Durable and eco-friendly, perfect for enhancing table settings.
- Hanging Ropes: Strong and versatile, suitable for both decorative and practical uses.

The Art of Sisal Crafting
The process of creating these unique products starts with the careful extraction of sisal fibers from the plant leaves. This labor-intensive process is done manually to ensure the quality of the fibers. Once extracted, the fibers are hand-dyed using natural dyes derived from flowers, leaves, and tree barks. This traditional dyeing method not only preserves the authenticity of our products but also ensures environmental sustainability.
Each product is meticulously handwoven by skilled artisans who have honed their craft through generations. The combination of traditional techniques and modern designs makes our sisal products unique, functional, and eco-friendly.
