Gift Shop is sponsored by the Maasai Association. This is part of
our economic development program in the Maasai region of Kenya.
The Maasai Association has provided seed money to Merrueshi Women
Cooperative for them to make high quality products for the world
markets. We are supporting and inspiring Maasai women artisans to
help themselves and their families through craftsmanship.
Our
business is a community-based initiative from beginning to end.
We are driven by the commitment of community economic development
and women empowerment. Every dollar from the sale of our products
benefits the Maasai women and their families.
More
girls and boys are in school because of income from the sale of
our products. Please buy our items today and support the Maasai
women and their families.
Your
business is very important to us.
Thank
you for supporting our cause!
OUR STORY
The Maasai have been herding
cattle across the great plains of East Africa for generations.
Cattle provided the Maasai with food, clothing, and school fees
for their children. However, with frequent and prolonged droughts,
which killed most of Maasai cattle, the Maasai way of life is
on the brink of extinction.
Our gift shop serves as a window of opportunity for Maasai women. We are helping the women build a better future for themselves and their families. Make a purchase today and support our cause.
