Artisan Story: Zakale Jewelry

Working with Jedando Modern Handicrafts the young men and women of Zakale Jewelry produce handmade jewelry using the skills of wire work and electroplating. The project first started as a garbage collection project in the slums of Nairobi. Recycling remains very close to the heart of the project. Much of the material used is reclaimed or recycled, include the cord from tires, which is used to string beads.
