In the northwestern section of Kenya, there is often a lack of opportunity and certainly a shortage of hope. The arid, desert area has been drought-riden since 1982. It is a very harsh life for the Turkana people who inhabit the area. The women in the area make these beautiful baskets, but it is not a tourist area so they are usually forced to sell them for pennies to middlemen from the capital city. Gifts on a Mission is attempting to give these women and their families a chance to sell their baskets at fair prices and on a regular basis. It's a small glimmer of hope, hence the name, Baskets of Hope. But this is not an easy project. The villages are remote and getting the baskets gathered together and then 24 hours away to Nairobi is still a task we are figuring out.
