About the Makers
This Peace by Piece Partner, Ubuntu, is a social enterprise in Kenya that works with nearly 800+ Maasai craftswomen, creating a broad range of handmade products, sourcing materials locally and making their handcrafted products in their own studio in Maai Mahiu, allowing them to control and optimize every element of the production process. This allows them to pass their cost-savings and profits onto their empowered Makers, investing in their well-being and that of the local community.
Through 150+ part- and full-time jobs, Ubuntu provides their Makers with sustainable employment, health insurance, and a living wage well above the standard income for the Maai Mahiu area. Additionally, they support 250+ children living with special needs through their primary impact partner and sister foundation, Ubuntu Life Foundation.
