The Fair coffee is high quality 100% Arabica. Kenyan coffee is generally regarded as one of the highest quality coffee there is. It has received an AA classification – one of the highest possible levels of certification awarded by the Coffee Board of Kenya. It comes from the area of Mount Kenya, where it is grown at an altitude of 1700 meters. Gentle roasting brings out its strong aroma, which reflects the wildness of Africa, as well as a specific, delicate flavor with hints of cherries and almonds.
And who makes the soapstone products in Kenya? Rough-hewn bowls are hand-made by stonemasons from Kisi tribe occupying the Tabaka village region, the only place in Kenya where soapstone is mined. These stonemasons have lectured the women from our community, the members of the Luo tribe on Rusinga island, on how to further shape the bowls, how to smooth, paint, decorate, and polish them. So, the stonemasons supply us with rough semi-finished products which are then finished by the women from the Island of Hope. So far 12 women have worked in the workshop, two of which we would like to introduce to you now:
Tracy Akinyi Otieno is 24 years old and she is married with two children – a daughter and a son. Tracy completed elementary school but could not study any further because of the birth of her first child. She also comes from Gunda located in the western part of the island. Tracy makes money by selling water to people on the island while her husband works as an occasional labourer and fisherman. The family income is very low. The family lives in a two-room mud house, they fetch water from the lake, use firewood for cooking, and kerosene for lighting.
