Sector of the SMEs sector in Kenya to dignify the way Maasai markets are
managed and run in the country. It was established in response to the demand
for quality handmade crafts and jewelry in the country as well as abroad.

challenged, women yoth and various artisans who operate and produce from their
homes.
During the launch, PTA Bank as part of their CSR donated materials to the kafamily
crafts market community in an effort to
support their entrepreneurship initiative.
