Wafumi Strings: Crocheting for Empowerment

In the heart of Embakasi Central Komarock, a transformational force is at work, threading together lives with the art of crocheting. Led by Angela Nduku, the Chairlady of Wafumi Strings Association, this group of 35 women is crafting more than just yarn products – they’re weaving opportunities for empowerment and change.

Established in 2022, Wafumi Strings is more than a crochet association; it’s a beacon of hope for women from various walks of life. From youth seeking skill enhancement to nursing mothers and stay-at-home moms craving financial independence, Wafumi Strings welcomes all with open arms.

Their repertoire of handcrafted yarn products is as diverse as the women behind them. Sweaters, scarves, kimonos, blankets, beanies, baby wear, ponchos, bags, dresses, headbands, beachwear, earrings, and home décor items showcase the boundless creativity and skill within the association.

But Wafumi Strings offers more than just beautiful, custom-made pieces. It’s a hub of learning and growth, offering training programs to equip women with invaluable skills. Through crochet, members not only hone their craft but also cultivate confidence and self-sufficiency.

Their clientele spans both local and international markets, with prices ranging from Kshs. 250 to Kshs. 50,000, making their creations accessible to all. Each purchase not only supports local artisans but also fuels the mission of empowerment that Wafumi Strings stands for.
