"All pieces are handmade by artisans in Kenya. Most of the artisans meet Monday through Friday at our new workshop in Nanyuki, Kenya. They are taught beading, basketry, or sewing, and take part in our life skills training program. During this time, they learn essential skills to improve their standard of living--budgeting, savings, goal setting, resume writing, leadership, parenting, and healthy living. [...]
"Grain of Rice Project is now located in Nanyuki where Grain of Rice Academy is located. We were previously located in Kibera--the largest slum in East Africa. Many of our artisans in Kibera moved to Nanyuki to continue in our Artisan Program. By providing skills training and creating products, artisans can earn a fair wage."
Each strand has 6 stuffed hearts and measures approximately 5 feet long. Colors and patterns will vary due to the handmade nature of this product.
