Kazuri Beads Factory

Founded in 1975, Kazuri started as a small initiative to help single mothers in Nairobi gain employment. Today, it supports over 300 women artisans and is a certified Fair Trade producer, shipping jewellery and pottery all over the world. Excellent place to buy genuine beads, pottery items. Prices are in US dollars usually and credit cards are accepted. There is a 30 min tour of the factory and then the showroom where you can buy. Profits go towards to helping single mothers here

Very good range of bead work but has become very costly in the recent years. Tough for a lady to enter and come out empty handed. The color combinations are very unique and varied - earrings, necklace. There is a low value range also but the shine amd brightness of colors is amazing in the higher price range. The showroom is well stocked - should have bulk buy discounts 😜😉

The concept of a bead workshop to help single mothers is great. Not sure how it went from this concept to a place that charges an arm and a leg with a less than enthused guide in Karen, a posh area of Nairobi. I guess it’s one way to nonprofit-wash a business and exploit the locals. New location is in a fancy office park.

If you're looking for bead work to gift someone, this is an ideal stop. Located conveniently off Karen-Langata road, Kazuri is a workshop dealing with handmade,yes, handmade jewellery,ranging from bracelets, earrings and necklaces. On site is a factory tour., take it to appreciate the beadwork and dedication into making the pieces magnificent!

I took a tour of the factory which was very interesting. Philip was a helpful guide and answered all my questions. There is a nice gift shop where you can buy finished jewelry as well as individual beads. This is a great way to support local!

With a lot of love and care they make here the most beautiful, handmade jewelry. All beads are handmade and handpainted. The initiative provides jobs to 100 women. The guided tour is very interesting. Great to do with children. Kazuri can be also ordered online.

When we came to the factory, a really sweet lady gave us a tour and explained how the breads are made from start to finish. Afterward we went to the little shop, that you can see in the pictures. They sell very beautiful bracelets, necklaces, earnings, and also little animal figures. Everything is made by hand as you will learn during the tour.

Literally, a must see wonder. The jewelry is artistic beauty.. Google it please
