about the artisan

one little world partners with an amazing organization in Nairobi that offers women a safe place.  Our artisans began their journey having been broken and devastated by the horrors of civil conflict. The women share a common need of healing, a restored vision, and a renewed energy to live again. While they came with needs they also came with gifts. They bring together skills in stitching, a love of African textiles, an eye for beauty, and a passion for peace. Together they create an abundant product line from jewelry to kitenge, using materials that are both sustainable and local to their Nairobi communities.  Women are able to gain greater skills, work together in community and are paid fairly, of course. This Collective also offers its “mamas” school fees for their children.

Testimonials

“

One little world fair trade is amazing, I absolutely love everything in this store. It's my go to for gifts and extra nice things for my home. Kudos to Jodie and her team/family for creating such a warm, thoughtful and positive presence in our neighborhood. I learn something new every time I go and I can't wait to attend some of the live workshops!

“

I've bought a few things from One Little World that are used and enjoyed regularly in my home (exp: felt mistletoe decoration, dryer ball). Both are still in very good condition even after years of use. I also appreciate having this option to support more civil and dignified working conditions for people who create these products.
