Description
These traditional Maasai beaded earrings are handmade in Kenya.
They’re great for dressing up or dressing down your outfit and you’ll know that by your purchase you helped an underprivileged girl in Kenya follow her dream of education.
The girls and women participating in our Enkisoma program in Transmara District in Kenya make Maasai beaded earrings and other Enkisoma beaded jewelry (check out our Enkisoma beaded bracelets) to raise money for their daughters’ and nieces’ school tuition and other school-related expenses.
Enkisoma beading program was inspired by a Kenyan girl Agnes Netaya Kimpuk who was outcast from her family at age 14 for refusing FGM and girl-child marriage. Agnes began beading to pay for high school fees in 2011 and graduated High School in 2015. Now the program expanded to 22 girls who are making bracelets, earrings, and necklaces in the traditional Maasai style as a way to pay for their school fees. All proceeds pay for school tuition and school-related expenses outright.
“Enkisoma” is a Maasai word for “education”.
