Article and Photographs by: Zoya DavisJimani Collections is a two part company who empowers Kenyan women and provides beautiful jewellery to their customers. The company’s main goal is to educate women while helping them to help themselves, thus helping their families and ultimately, their community.
Through innovation and design they are able to create pieces like the Nikki Necklace ($32USD). This piece is made of bass with a double looped pendent, placed on a gold chain. It’s beautiful for everyday looks and has a natural vibe to it. Every individual hook, screw and swirl is more than just a piece of metal, it is a story of a determined woman. Women like Diana are taught how to make the products sold on Jimani’s online store. Through this job, she is able to support a family of four with her motorcycle-riding husband. Many of these women have ambitions extending beyond creating jewelry, like Fidelia, who aspires to start her own business sewing grain sacks and has future plans to purchase land in rural areas. Jimani Collections is more than just a jewelry company, it’s a company who helps build futures and with each purchase a customer makes, they invest in more than just the contents of their jewellery box, they invest in empowering woman.
