About this activity

Welcome - we'd love for you to join us and learn to create beautiful metal or beaded jewelry at our vocational studio in the Meru region! In just a few hours, you'll learn how to create beautiful pieces of jewelry in traditional styles, and you'll have something precious to take home and remember your visit by. You'll learn about TST's work empowering the local community, including our vocational program supporting impoverished young adults and helping them to start sustainable businesses. Throughout the day, I will also teach you about the Meru tribal culture and history.

The small donation that we ask for goes 100% directly to our children, families, and programs. From your donation, $10 can pay for art supplies for a class at the daycare. $25 can feed one of our children for two weeks. $75 helps a family start a business. $200 covers all of the living costs for a child for a month in residential care. This is a unique opportunity to help vulnerable children in our community!
