Welcome to the Pangea Network Marketplace
Pangea's marketplace highlights some of the women's beautiful work and gives you and opportunity to make a purchase that makes a positive impact on women around the world
As part of our Kibera Cooperative, several women have been trained by a fellow participant in the art of beadwork. They have learned to make beautiful beaded bracelets, necklaces, and bowls, and we are helping to open markets, both locally and globally, for their handicrafts. By leveraging our access to global markets for their beautiful pieces they can earn fair trade wages for their work.
By introducing the products into new markets, Pangea increases demand for the Kenyan beadwork, and the sale of these items results in a sustainable business. This synergy not only effect the women involved today, but other women in the community, as today's workers train tomorrow's, building leadership skills alongside self-esteem and a sense of community.
