NEW Maasai Beaded Bracelet Size S - Black Raven Beads
- Size S for those who wear up to about 18 cm bracelets.
- In the Maasai community, women often engage in beadwork, crafting bracelets, necklaces, and other decorative items. This traditional craft not only serves as a source of income but also plays a significant role in preserving the rich cultural heritage of the Maasai people.
Maasai women sell their crafts at the gates of national parks and inside their Maasai cultural villages. They do this to contribute to their families' finances, including paying school fees for their children and purchasing food supplies.
It is customary for Maasai families to allocate a portion of their earnings to help the less fortunate or to provide food to those in need.
Overall, women play a vital role in the Maasai community, contributing significantly to their families' well-being and the broader community's welfare. Their efforts are greatly appreciated and celebrated.
Through this small community project, we are making a tangible difference in the lives of two families.
Your purchase has a tremendous impact on these families.

He is married and has two adorable children, whose future he is striving to secure.
Mr Steve and his family live on the southern edge of Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Once upon a time, Frank and Belinda were lost on the backroads in Amboselli. This is where we met Mr Steve, who gracefully guided us back to "civilisation", and our friendship started.
