Nyabigena Soapstone Carvers
Nyabigena Soapstone Ca...
Kenya
Kisii, a city in western Kenya near Lake Victoria, is surrounded by soapstone quarries and is well-known both for the quality of its soapstone and the skill of its carvers. Since export sales for the Nyabigena Carvers Cooperative dried up in 1999, the 150 members have worked hard to find new markets for their carvings. With no paid staff, the board members take turns handling the various jobs which need to be done. The organization also sponsors community development projects like a women`s literacy program, HIV/AIDS education, and a program which supports school dropouts, encouraging them to finish school and thus avoiding the necessity of child labor.
