We are committed to creating economic opportunity and financial inclusion for marginalized artisans and their families in Kenya through the production of ethical jewelry at the highest quality. As a decentralized production model, we are primed to logistically handle these moments with adaptability and consideration.
As a company, we are taking the following measures and protocols:
Our Field Team will continue to work in the field with limited movement to reduce exposure. Our Social Responsibility team is working on sending out updates and health information to our artisans so that our entire community stays informed and safe.
Our U.S team is working completely from home, and is under self-quarantine whenever possible.
Most of our global staff are currently working from home, and those that cannot (due to the nature of their roles) will be working on site but will be spread out sufficiently enough to maintain social distancing requirements. We have increased cleaning and sanitization of the office to reduce the possibility of infection. All people handling the jewelry are wearing gloves.
