In a colorful event held at Laisamis the ladies danced and made merry as the event was foreseen by Marsabit’s Deputy Governor, H.E Solomon Gubo. He mentioned that the initiative was a great way for the different conservancies to fend for their families and the communities at large through the income they generate.
BeadWORKS works with community conservancies to organize Women’s groups and provide the training necessary, resources and support that the women need to participate in BeadWORKS’ community-to-market value.
This income enables the women to survive and improve their families’ lives without resorting to environmentally damaging activities.
