Aprons are made by the seamstresses in our sewing program in rural Kenya, using the traditional east African fabric called kitenge.
100% waxed cotton. Lightweight, one size fits most. Assorted patterns, contact us if you would like to see designs available.
One pocket on the chest and two at the waist. Great for the kitchen and garden. Wash cold, hang dry.
About our Enkiteng program:
Enkiteng is our flagship program operating in 3 subsistence farming villages in Kenya, where local seamstresses teach participating women how to sew on a treadle or electric sewing machines (depending on access to electricity).
Women in our Enkiteng program learn how to sew first by making our design-patented reusable eco-friendly gift wrapping bags and as the seamstresses become more confident, they learn how to make other products such as these aprons. This is a very important step in the program as they support their local economy, become more confident (making an investment).
