Excursion to Kazuri Beads

On Tuesday, 11th October a group of 12 ladies enjoyed a most informative tour of Kazuri Beads in Karen.

We were met by John, a very knowledgeable tour guide, who took us through both the bead-making and pottery factories, explaining the manufacturing process along the way.

Kazuri employs over 340 women, mostly single mothers, some of whom have worked for the company for the past 34 years – an amazing achievement when one considers the intricate nature of the work!

We then shopped up a storm in the factory shop, followed by a delicious lunch at Tamambo in the Karen Blixen Coffee Gardens.
