Kitengela
Glass is located opposite the Nairobi National Park, at the end
of a rough road. Despite this, the constant stream of visitors from
all over the world never stops. The magical ambience of the place
is peppered with sculptures, animals and secret mosaic pathways
which lead to niches of busy artisans all transforming recycled
glass and scraps of other materials into beautiful artworks, jewellery
and home ware.
They
try to help their locale as much as possible – over fifty
people have been trained and work in the various disciplines, a
local orphanage is being supported, >>
scholarships awarded, school fees loaned, roads repaired and
security improved, a thousand trees planted, raw materials and fuel
recycled, and all the packaging is second hand.
Everything
is unique – nothing is wasted.
