Welcome to ShineBean.org

We come to the realization that a self-centered lifestyle will not satisfy us. Therefore, we have decided to use the knowledge, abilities and possibilities that have been given to us for the benefit of other people.

UPDATES

New Production Groups

Our contacts with producers of handmade products in Kenya are developing beautifully.

In the past few months, we have begun to cooperate with a group of producers who make grass baskets from Kakamega. Their beautiful baskets, which have many original patterns, or their mobile phone cases are already available here too. Furthermore, we have also begun to cooperate with two groups of women from the Kibera slum. Both groups engage in making jewellery, especially from traditional natural materials such as horns or bones. These samples have arrived here as well.


But for sewn or batik products, we shall have to wait a little longer. The group who sews and meets in the village of Ngong is still training. But we would already like to thank Zuzka Altmanova for preparing very interesting proposals for the sewn collection.
