Beautifully hand crafted bead-work jewellery made by talented Maasai artisans in Kenya

RedTribe aims to empower marginalised Maasai women in the remote Loita Hills.
In 2010 RedTribe beadwork began with one widow and a few beads.

It now employs between 20 and 40 women enabling them to provide for
more than 400 members of their immediate community between them.
RedTribe has built a designated workshop, store and kitchen.

With the profits from the beadwork sales,
RedTribe has provided the funds to train 9 teachers for the Maasai Academy
and subsidised the school to enable children from poorer families to attend.

The beadwork has also provided funds to send 14 children through secondary school,
11 of whom were girls, and 1 girl through vocational training.

RedTribe has helped to empower 3 community members in
advocating against FGM and early marriage.

The Watamu
Collection

This stunning bracelet was uniquely inspired by the beautiful colours of Watamu on the Kenyan coast. It means ‘sweet place’ which perfectly describes this paradise of turquoise sea and pure white gold sand.

Nontinanna’s Story

RedTribe’s beadwork manager and has overcome many obstacles to get where she is now; like so many others she has not been able to make choices of her own. Even with limited education, and having undergone FGM as well as an unwanted arranged marriage, she has - with great faith, courage, determination, and hardwork - become a strong and empowered woman and role model, who brilliantly manages and helps disciple our team of artisans.
She trained in educating women about the harmful practice of FGM and has used her knowledge to help eradicate this practice as far as is possible.

RedTribe is so privileged to have Nontinnana on the team.

“I was pulled out of school; forced to undergo FGM and an unwanted early arranged marriage.

Since working with RedTribe, my life has been completely transformed.

I have been empowered, and I now manage a whole team of artisans and work across cultures to make it possible for RedTribe to change the lives of many other oppressed women.”
