About Kazuri Beads Factory

The Kazuri Beads Factory had its humble beginnings in 1975 as a tiny workshop experimenting with hand made crafted ceramic beads. The entire mission of Kazuri is empowerment by providing sustainable employment opportunities for disadvantaged members of Kenyan society, mainly single women. The handcrafted jewelry focuses intensely on Kenya's culture and wildlife, making it a prime location for the most unique of souvenirs. Its name 'Kazuri' translates to 'small and beautiful' in Swahili, living up to that name with the astounding choice of beads of various hues, designs, and sizes.

Must See
