Evergreen Sisal Ornament

Bring a touch of handcrafted beauty and global purpose to your holiday décor with our Evergreen Sisal Ornament. Created by the women of Have Hope in Kenya, each ornament is handwoven using the same traditional basket-weaving techniques.

Sisal, a tough and durable natural fiber, is grown in Kenya’s rural regions where it provides vital income for women farmers and their families. The women of Have Hope weave the fibers into intricate designs, transforming raw material into a meaningful work of art.

Each ornament represents more than craftsmanship; it tells a story of hope, dignity, and renewal. Whether hung on your tree or given as a heartfelt gift, this ornament serves as a reminder that beauty can bloom even in hard places.

ABOUT THE ARTISAN

Have Hope

In 2010, the women of Have Hope from Kariobungi slum named their Bible Study group “Have Hope” because they didn’t have any. Since then, they have been slowly and faithfully working their way out of poverty. Today, these women are proudly part of the working class in Kenya and have become skilled artisans, many of whom have started their own businesses.

In 2022, with your generosity, they began training to become expert basket weavers. They have learned a skill that will make a way for them to sell in the Kenyan market. They translated that knowledge of weaving to create your sisal ornament.
