The Maasai and Kikiyu people continue a long history as some of the foremost bead workers in Africa. The skills to create beadwork has been passed down through many generations and these cultures are famous throughout the world for their beadwork.
I was so delighted that my husband gave me my dream bowl from Baskets of Africa as a Christmas gift. This Ugandan basket is simply beyond beautiful. Thank you for the good work that you are doing. Nancy
I just wanted to write to tell you how much I enjoy your website. I am a disabled person spending a lot of time just sitting in my wheelchair. I find that it makes me feel better to just sit and stare at the beautiful baskets that you have. I am a college professor, and I have traveled extensively. However I have not seen these beautiful baskets before in my travels. Congratulations on the good work that you are doing. Nancy
All of our African baskets are verified Fair Trade, because we believe that indigenous people around the world should be compensated fairly for their amazing work.
