Description

This week, I was visiting a town in Makueni County, located in the southeastern part of Kenya. About an hour's drive from Makueni’s capital town Wote, I met a 70-year-old lady who, after a severe three-year drought hit the village, learned how to weave beaded baskets. She is relying on WhatsApp, her family, and Facebook to make sales. Have a listen to our conversation.
