Description

RefuSHE's Artisan Collective products impact our beneficiaries in two major ways. The first is through the art of resist-dyeing, as its repetitive nature and artisans’ ownership over the product provide a space for healing and confidence-building. The second is through the sale of the product, either locally in Nairobi or internationally, as 100% of revenue is reinvested back into the program to support the artisans’ monthly stipends.
