Kenya Stitch Co.
Premium handmade quilts with community at their core
Every quilt is handmade in Nyamokenye Village, Kenya, from kitenge, the bright printed cloth worn across East Africa, by a team of Community Health and Empowerment Club members.
A portion of every purchase supports GHC’s work in Kenya’s villages, including table banks like Nyamokenye’s and Invest in Her projects.
Where things stand
Seven women and one man finished a 20-day sewing training this summer. Their first 20 quilts, made in Nyamokenye, found homes with a leadership group in Chicago this fall. A new batch is on the way, and we’ll open to everyone early next year. Want to be first in line? Tap Notify Me.
