• • Be mindful with beauty products — Apply lotions, perfumes, and sprays before putting on jewelry to avoid buildup or dullness.

ABOUT THE ARTISAN

Forged in Hope was first led by Stephen, who created jewelry from upcycled brass in Kibera, Africa’s largest urban slum. After Stephen’s passing, his wife Maureen continued his legacy, expanding production and investing in businesses in Kibera, fostering local economic growth. Wycliffe, who worked closely with Stephen, assumed a leadership role, overseeing artisans and facilitating business growth. Mercy House Global proudly supports this talented artisan group, fostering empowerment and sustainability.

MEET THE ARTISAN: HESBORN

For Hesborn, his work with Mercy House Global has been more than just a source of income. It has been a foundation for his future. Through his earnings, he was able to complete building his house in the countryside, a milestone that once felt out of reach.

“I really appreciate Mercy House,” he shares. “Through them, I managed to finish my house.”

As he looks ahead to the new year, Hesborn holds onto hope. His greatest wish is for more opportunities, more projects, and more doors to open so that he and his fellow artisans can continue building brighter futures.
