Feb 2009 Update to Project:
The workshop is going from strength to strength. Recently it was re-furbished and fitted with internet access. This is a big help to the group who had to travel into town through Nairobi's notorious traffic to access the internet for their orders and product development. Zakale new animal range of jewellery was a big hit at the Christmas markets last year and enabled profits to be re-invested into the workshop. Coming soon will be blogs from Zakale employees!
John set up Zakale Creations 5 years ago. The Project is located in Huruma, which is part of Mathare Valley, within the Starehe Constituency,. The slum population is approx 8,000 with a very high unemployment rate (approx 80%). The people who live here have many problems including poor housing, lack of basic facilities, including water, roads etc. and lack of education. The ‘drop out’ from Primary School is very high and few complete their Primary School education. |
