In true Kenyan spirit, a Kenyan man living in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has monetised his bead-making skills to make and sell the popular Kenyan flag bracelet.
Jamal Njambe has become a fixture at the African traditional handicrafts pavilion at the Sharjah Festival of African Literature (SFAL) captivating festivalgoers with the beautiful red, green, black, and white bracelets that have become synonymous with patriotism in Kenya.
According to a UAE publication Sharjah 24, it takes Njambe approximately one hour and 20 minutes to complete designing a single piece.
Being a cultural festival, Njambe ensures that his work reflects cultures from both the UAE and Kenya.
