Lovely Things // Organic Fairtrade Soft Toys from Tilly + Cub
May 13, 2018
Just before Christmas, Busby and H-Bear were sent a gorgeous puppy each from Tilly + Cub.
The toys are made by women in Kenya for an incredibly special project called Kenana Knitters, which has provided an income for over 500 women so far. The project has empowered women to support themselves and their families; funding education for their children, and healthcare.

One of the best parts about living in Kenya is that when you venture out, generally you never really know what you’ll find.
But then it happens at times when you venture further off the main roads and into the sprawling acres of the country that you stumble upon something of a different nature entirely. Something tucked deeply away, out of plain sight. Something well established within the community, built with care and intention. Something established not just to feed a family for a day but to equip a community to feed and support themselves for a lifetime.

The first quarter of the year is over, February and March were busy with shipping of Easter orders for our clients. Our ladies have been busy knitting up lots of different Bunny Designs. The best part is that we managed to get stuff shipped off just in time for Easter!!!

2018 is off to a great start here at Kenana Knitters. We started the year on 4th January with lots of ladies coming in to bring completed work as well as get new patterns. Last year was a very slow year, due to the political climate. We are so grateful for all the clients who kept us afloat with work for the ladies in 2017.
