Located in the agricultural community of Njoro in Kenya, Kenana Knitters works with more than 500 artisans, the majority of whom are women. The artisans have had few income earning opportunities because of limited educational backgrounds and their family responsibilities.
They can now earn a sustainable income, create long-term economic plans, and take care of their families while working on a flexible schedule. Kenana Knitters provides artisans with access to regular health check-ups, family planning, HIV treatment and counseling, and educational opportunities including daily newspapers.
The presence of knitting techniques in Africa dates back to the late 1800s, when early missionaries working in the region introduced it to local communities. Since then, knitting has been passed down across generations in small pockets around Kenya, often by mothers teaching their daughters. Kenana Knitters uses sustainable materials including organic cotton and natural fibers. The cotton is sourced from neighboring Tanzania; the artisans ply and twist the cotton before dyeing it with AZO-free dyes to create beautiful products.
