Kibera Paper (Friday)

Kibera Paper is an ingenious solution that offers a living wage for fulfilling work. Local offices donate waste printed matter and this is pulped down, dyed and dryed, and transformed into beautiful handmade paper. The paper is used to create exquisite greetings cards which are designed by three in-house artists and made by our team of 22 craftspeople. We also provide work for a manager and a book-keeper. Those with young babies bring them to work; the older children attend school, some for the first time, because their parents can now afford the fees.
