Facilitation, transition has been in the air. These past few months have been a movement in a different direction. Instead of meeting with kids, skipping, holding hands, and drawing pictures in the dirt. I meet with women, women with working hands, creased smiles, and babies on their backs. Women from communities 5 hrs away and women from communities 2 hours away, distance doesn’t matter, because we are all women meeting. We are meeting to talk about the future, and partnership. We are meeting to design, to learn from eachother and to help eachother. We are meeting to work together as Artisans.
My transition into Me to We Artisans has been a welcome one. Every day I learn from women who are older and wiser than I. I went from having 1 mama to close to 600 mamas, 600 mamas who collectively work hard to provide a better future for their families through Me to We Artisans.
Me to We Artisans is an initiative that works with women from rural communities in the Maasai Mara region and Kajaido. We are able to provide a market to these women to sell their hand-crafted products that they are so skilled in making. With this initiative women are able to have a sustainable source of income, making two and a half times more than before.
