Kibera’s Victorious Youth Group
In a small self-built workshop at the edge of Kibera, one of Africa’s largest slums, a group of craftspeople, designers and artists create jewelry out of old butcher bones. Employing 23 members full-time, Victorious trains and employs at-risk youth in bonecraft. We are excited to have them joining us at Maker Faire Africa 2010.
Thank you for showcasing what Africa’s has to offer, it’s know-how and sense of transformation and so much more!
Hello, Fati! Thank you for all the love you’re giving MFA on your blog. :) Wish you could be joining us in Kenya.. things are shaping up for what is looking more and more like a fantastic event. Maybe next year we can get you to MFA for a workshop…

What a fantastic site. All this good work going on. I wish I had the resources to get these goods to all the people who would like to buy them. Fantastic
