MAKENNA WOMENS GROUOup
Tharaka, Kenya  

In the bush of Eastern Kenya, is an indigenous pastoralist village of strong, resilient, belly-laughing Tharkakan women. Here in Co-founder Roberts home village is a group of 24 vibrant women who fittingly have named themselves the "Makenna (joy) Women's group". The Makenna Women's Group has been meeting every Thursday Morning at 6am on this rock face together for years to sing, table bank, and start small businesses to sustain themselves and their children.  They are incredible hosts, dancers, farmers, natural builders, basket weavers, mothers, and entrepreneurs. These women are bursting with an abundance of cultural wisdom & tradition to share. Most of our Amwe efforts focus on exchange and support with this vibrant group. We have  much to learn from one another.
