Overview

Mission

To improve the lives of impoverished individuals through the purchase of their handicrafts through the establishment of markets for the handicrafts and through the creation of vocational training programs. To create a sustainable solution to poverty by offering education within product design and product creation.

What it reported doing in 2022

Support of impoverished men and women in Kenya through the purchase of their handicrafts and through the establishment of entrepreneurship training programs focused on developing skills and knowledge to improve their economic well being and quality of life. In 2021 Jimani Collections accomplished these three goals: 1 Began our third Entrepreneurship Class in the Fall of 2021. 2 Continued to offer support in the form of handicraft purchases to a core group of women in Kenya and additional impoverished artisan groups in Nairobi. 3 In response to the Covid-19 pandemic Jimani offered additional support to our graduates trainees artisan partners and teachers in the form of much needed food relief throughout the majority of 2021.
