Our idea for Jambo Creations was taking form and originally we were going to buy the fabrics, beads etc in Tanzania and create fashion accessories inspired by our travels there. There was inspiration everywhere. Beautiful fabrics, lots of color, jewelry. Just look at how these women are dressed as they go about their daily round. Much of their time is spent fetching water and wood. It is not unusual for women to walk 5 to 7 K each way per day to bring home water.
We knew that the beautiful pieces we saw would be marketable, but as we took a closer look we could see how intricate and labor intensive this work is. However, the solution to this challenge lay in the future. See my blog, "The Mamas" coming up to see how beautifully it all came together.
