Kenana Knitters
In the beautiful foothills on the western wall of Kenya's magnificent Great Rift Valley, lies the tranquil farming community of Njoro. There, a group of Kenyan women buy homespun yarn, which they wash, mothproof and hand knit into wonderful stuffed animals and accessories.

Despite the beauty of the surroundings, life can be hard. Unemployment runs at 60-80% and those who have work are respected for supporting their extended families. In 1998, Kenana Knitters was formed with the aim of giving much needed income to the local people - in particular the women of Njoro.
