Kazuri, which means “small and beautiful” in Swahili, began in 1975 as a tiny workshop experimenting in hand crafted ceramic beads. Its founder started with two single motherhood women and soon discovered that there were many others in the villages around Nairobi, most of who were disadvantaged and were in great need of regular employment.

Doctors in Kenya) founded the company in 1975 as a small studio
experimenting with manufacturing handcrafted beads jewelry.
Lady Susan Wood began with two single moms but quickly realized
that there were many more women in Nairobi’s countryside and
slums, the majority of whom were disadvantaged single mothers in
desperate need of regular employment. Kazuri was founded with
the aim to give such chances and has since expanded to employ
over 340 women (mainly single moms) who are talented in the
manufacturing of handcrafted clay beads, jewelry, and ceramics.
