Northern Kenya
On April 25, 2019, Hafura Project was born — along with our very first atelier in Hurri Hills, a remote mountain region in northern Kenya, home to the Gabbra and Borana peoples.
The context is challenging: long distances, few job opportunities, limited resources, and restricted access to basic services. Yet it is also a place rich in culture, resilience, and a strong desire to learn.
Today, Hafura serves around 35 women per semester, across two locations:
● Ali Boru village — where our own atelier is located.
● Guba village — where classes take place in a student’s home, until we are able to build a permanent space.
Courses offered include literacy, sewing, embroidery, and crochet, as well as devotional gatherings. The women produce items for local sale, some reaching Nairobi, and even beyond Kenya — generating income and strengthening self-esteem.
Hafura’s presence in Hurri Hills is only possible thanks to our partnership with AIM (Africa Inland Mission), which provides the institutional foundation and space for the project to grow.
More than a place of learning, the atelier has become a safe space of community and hope, where women rediscover their value and find new paths to transform the future of their families and communities.
