This Fair Trade necklace was handmade in Kenya.

Founded in 1969 as a rehabilitation centre, Bombolulu`s disabled workshops for the handicapped employ 160 people from all over Kenya and were largely supported by the Kenya Association for the Disabled. Now,they are working towards social and financial independence. Many of the workers were victims of polio in childhood and would otherwise find it very difficult to find work. Bombolulu assists in developing the skills and abilities of its workforce and is now one of the largest rehabilitation centres in Kenya. 

Working in wood and bone, the craftspeople then handpaint their products to decorate them with colours and patterns that reflect the local environment. Their Fair Trade jewellery  is of mixed materials - bead, soapstone, bone, brass, silver or gold plate. Beads come from Masai and Turkana traditions.

Bombolulu have supplied our Batik Bone Bracelet which is decorated by hand with tribal patterns.
