Under the expansive skies of Kajiado County, Elizabeth Lekanet sits outside her home in Olorien village, her fingers carefully weaving colourful beads into intricate patterns.
Each bead carries the wisdom of generations, a story deeply woven into the rich tapestry of Maasai tradition, passed down from mother to daughter.
Just a few years ago, beadwork was merely a pastime activity for Lekanet, something done in between household chores, offering little promise of financial security.
But today, thanks to the Ushanga Kenya Initiative, it is her livelihood, her empowerment, and her gateway to a better future.
