Viva Africa

 

Viva Africa was formed by Viva Bedi to give employment opportunities to the needy in her local community. Her particular concern is for the hearing impaired and mute men and women in Nakuru and over the last 18 months over 25 people have gained meaningful employment with VA and two separate student groups from the local Deaf and Dumb School have participated in training sessions.

 

Viva Africa specialises in using the traditional East African kikoi fabric. The fabric is 100% cotton grown in East Africa (Tanzania, Uganda or Kenya). The raw cotton is then turned into material which is dyed into vibrant colours and used for wraps, tablewear and clothing.
