Beadwork & Leather Keychain - This is Africa

Hand-beaded by Ushindi Women's Group in Gilgil, Kenya, these whimsical keychains are backed in high quality leather making them beautiful and durable. 

Beadwork has been an integral part of the traditions of the Maasai and Samburu people for generations, with women making and wearing jewelry and other ornaments to signify their position and status in their communities. Ushindi offers dozens of women in particularly marginalized communities a chance to use these skills to create their own economic independence.
