Kenya Stitch Co.
Premiun handmade quilts with community at their core
Every quilt is handcrafted in Nyamokenye Village, Kenya, by members of a Community Health and Empowerment Club (CHEC). A portion of every purchase goes straight back into the community's table bank, seed money that keeps circulating long after the sale.
Where things stand
Seven women and one man in Nyamokenye finished a 20-day sewing training this summer. Ten machines, kitenge fabric, and a group ready to build a real business, one quilt at a time. The first pieces are still in progress. We're not selling yet, but we will be soon.
The numbers
- 500 people in Nyamokenye Village reached by this project
- 7 women + 1 man trained and sewing
- 2 quilts per sewer, per month, once production is up to pace
- 19+ villages in GHC's broader network, this is one of them
