Imagine living in one square mile and sharing that small space with one million other people - that's like the entire population of Liverpool times two living within the old walled City of London. And, on top of that, having virtually no water, electricity, sanitation or any kind of policing.

These are the conditions faced by the people of the Kibera Slum - a forgotten wasteland outside Nairobi in Kenya.

Our products are predominantly made by the women and men who live in the Kibera Slum. The workshops where the artisans work provide people with a sustainable income but, more importantly, the pride to earn a living to support themselves and their family.

Without this they would have nothing - there is no such thing as state benefit and support in Nairobi.

Jambo-Jambo subscribes to the policy of Fair Trade.

What's more, our products are all hand-made from natural or recycled products. As well as being eco-friendly, this means they are all individual and unique.
