Tailored Clothing info! 

Joy and I will be returning next month, and March is already flying by! I’ve been talking with a few local tailors and I’d love to give them a little business before I leave.

I will definitely bring back a variety of beautiful chitenges if anyone is interested in buying for $10. They’re bright, versatile, and perfect for summer! 

   Beautiful chitenges from all over the African continent

  Baby girls love practicing carrying “their babies” too.

  Chitenge skirts are the village favorite. Worn over dresses, skirts, pants etc to stay clean and conservative.
