In a Maasai village near the Tanzanian border, women working in the shadow of Kenya's Mt. Kilimanjaro decorate leather with tightly stitched, geometric beaded patterns. The leather is then brought to women of the Kikuyu tribe near Nairobi, who stitch them together to form these handsome and textural cushions. The income from these craft enterprises directly benefits the women, who use the proceeds to feed their families and send their children to school.
