Hi! I'm Charles. I have worked in manufacturing of denim jeans for 35 years. During this time I have the pleasure to work in both Kenya and Mexico. I started A Touch of Kenya as a way to help the people in Kenya get their work into the USA and to hopefully help them financially. Some of my friends in the Yucatan Mexico have recently lost their jobs because of Covid-19. They are making the beautiful embroidered masks that I have added to my closet in the past weeks. Have a blessed day. Charles

herofthesweater Hi Charles! I’m wondering if you have connections with Kenyan bead makers. I would love to buy handmade beads. Have you ever sold unstrung beads, or might you in the future? Thanks so much!!

Aug 23Reply

bluejeans4life @lgedlinske Hi Lauren, the best bead maker in Kenya is Kazuri Beads. They are absolutely gorgeous. I know you can buy them loose on Amazon and eBay, but I would check out their website, they may have a local (USA) supplier. Plus this really helps the women in Kenya. I lived about 2 miles from where they were made when I lived in Kenya. I have never sold loose beads myself but have sold the Kazuri Beaded necklaces and bracelets. I hope this helps. Charles kazuri.com is the website

My godfather is from Kenya however not of African American decent more English has taught me through my childhood of the suffering that they endure! Iam a FAN ! THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️

Sep 08Reply

bluejeans4life @karenholmes77 Hi Karen, Thank you for your kind words. I was reminded of the British influence in Kenya and how they could not understand my Southern American English when you mentioned your Godfather. It was a wonderful experience living there and getting to know these wonderful people. Have a blessed day, Charles

tbunnyb So how does the money made from these products make it back to the people of Kenya?

Oct 09Reply

bluejeans4life @tbunnyb Hi, the money is sent back to Kenya in 2 ways. I pay school fees for children that have no means of paying for their school and the balance of profit is sent to the artisans. Have a great day. Charles

Oct 09Reply

tbunnyb @bluejeans4life oh okay, so you dont make any of the money off of it, all of it goes back to Kenya?

Oct 09Reply

bluejeans4life @tbunnyb I use some of the profits for expenses etc.

Oct 10Reply

tbunnyb @bluejeans4life oh okay, and can I just ask, why are the prices so cheap? Like how is that much profit for those things made if the prices are so low? Genuinely curious.

Oct 10Reply

bluejeans4life @tbunnyb It is true, profit margins are very low. Unfortunately with current economic conditions around the globe, and with so many people unemployed the prices have been driven down. I used to be able to get almost double the current prices which really helped the Kenyan artisans.

Oct 10Reply

tbunnyb @bluejeans4life I definitely feel like they could still be sold for more (esp masks) on a different market, but i get covid took a huge toll. I hope you will be able to raise them again to help soon!

Apr 11Reply

bluejeans4life @letgololo Good Morning, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly a blessing for me to live and work in Kenya. It was an amazing experience. We as Americans do not really understand how blessed we are by living in the USA. When I lived in Kenya the minimum wage was $120 per month with 40% unemployment rate. The artisans are dependent on tourism which is non existent now because of Covid. Hopefully, this will end soon and life will get back to normal. Have a blessed day, Charles
