Now that I have had the glory of watching my sisters so diligently trekking and crafting these precious gems, I will apply even more protection (if that’s even possible) on my hand made items with even more pride and joy. Can’t wait for more of your exciting and interesting content.😘🙏🏽🤗.

The actual thought of what they go through to earn a living to take care of their families is mind blowing. I pray that one day the conditions will change for them and they continue to do their craft under safe conditions. When one sees a clay pot and admires its beauty, you have no idea of the process it took to craft it. May their willingness to continue in their craft be rewarded with blessings greater than their needs. God bless them abundantly and continue to keep them safe! 💜🙏🏾🫶🏾🌺🙋🏾♀️

this is how hardworking people are in most african countries, esp the women. I think somebody here can see how we can buy modern pottery equipment and send it to these ladies, koso? and then we can start an online selling platform for them to mitigate cruel market dynamics that force them to sell at throw away prices just to feed the children.

Jael the content is really good as you take us to the real situation on the ground. I use pots for cooking and I actually buy mine in kendu bay. I love them. I really wish the translation wouldn't disappear so fast. I couldn't read your texts so I am lost on much of what they are saying. Secondly, the potters who do flower pots in Nairobi know how to improvise old car rims to make potter's wheels and that makes their work faster. If there's a way we can organise for them to get the wheel would be of great help to them. I am looking forward to buying more pots from them. Flower pots would also be a great variety. Thanks for letting us in.

Good job, Jael for this invaluable documentary for generations to come. Please take pictures of and name the different pots respectively to educate and inform the ignorant. This, I believe, helps with marketing and identifying what one needs to buy and for what purpose. Congratulations to the ladies and their good work. They are making history and passing down valuable skills while earning a noble and honest living. I very much appreciate that they are NOT brewing illicit and health-destroying drinks, and that they commit everything in the able hands of the Creator who gives all good and perfect gifts. They have earned my respect. Please pass my regards and encouragment to them.
