The Dig Deep for the Farmers campaign has got off to an encouraging start, raising nearly £300 in the first month. The game must be raised if we're to reach £3,700 by the end of June though! So for the first game-raising effort I introduce the Dig Deep Apron!
These Aprons are made of Kanga material which is used by mums everywhere in Kenya as clothing, headwear or to carry things like babies. They are covered in awesome brightly coloured patterns and always have a Swahili proverb scribbled somewhere.
The impact of these aprons is three-fold. Firstly, I bought the kanga material from members of the microfinance programme, all mothers, giving their businesses a boost.
Secondly, I nipped round the corner to my friend's house to get them made. Mary a.k.a Mama Daisy (her baby girl is called Daisy and is terrified of me) lives in the Turning Point compound in Mashimoni and has lovingly made each apron by hand. Income from this work will help pay for her two boys' school fees.
Finally, all the profits from apron sales are going towards the Dig Deep for the Farmers campaign to buy a single-mum from Kibera a farm.
So, that's three mums from Kibera benefiting from every apron sold! Surely these aprons would make an excellent mother's day gift! If you would like to order one from the Turning Point Website, we'll make sure it gets to in time for mother's day on 3rd April.
