ABOUT THE ARTISAN

Street Hope began as a group of women from Mathare slum in Nairobi, Kenya, who had spent much of their lives on the streets. Through a partnership with Mercy House Global, these women learned the art of hand-stitching, creating opportunities to earn dignified income and build greater stability for themselves and their families.

Today, their handcrafted work helps provide for everyday needs while supporting brighter futures through employment, education, and opportunity. Each piece reflects the resilience, creativity, and hope of the women behind it.
