Women’s Empowerment
All our jewellery is made by the KCC Women’s Group. The group meets weekly and has three main objectives:
Income Generation
Empowering women with business and jewellery making skills.
Feeding Programme Support
Donating 15% of each sale to the school feeding programme.
Sustainability
Investing in opportunities that increase the sustainability of the group and the individuals within it.
Each jewellery sale is divided three ways:
65% Goes directly to the woman who has made the piece of jewellery.
20% Is put aside for sustainability projects.
15% Is donated to the KCC pre-school feeding programme.
