Ubuntu Life's artisans are a community of Makers and Maasai craftswomen united by the philosophy of Ubuntu — "I am because we are."
What began with a small group of mothers learning to sew on manual machines has grown into a network of over 150 Makers and 800+ Maasai women, who bring generations of beading tradition to every piece they create.

Maasai Beadwork
Maasai beadwork arranges beads into patterns using thread, wire or other supports to make jewelry and decorative pieces. Designs carry meanings specific to the community and context in which they are made.
