All I can say is, WOW! I’m so glad I stopped by here before leaving Mombasa. This was the highlight of my trip! This is a compound that employs differently-abled people as artisans. The guide, Ronald, has been here for 41 years. He does an amazing job walking visitors around the five types of art folks do. There’s also a cultural component of the tour at the end where you can see the old types of homes different tribes lived in, an old Swahili home, and a cultural dance performance. The tour was 750 shillings and it begins and ends at the gift shop. The gift shop has many beautiful items, all handmade by the resident artists. I found the prices to be very fair, particularly considering it goes to maintain the compound, take care of staff, and run a primary school for the staff’s kids. In total, there are 34 artists. You can pay for the tour and the gift shop using cash, card or MPESA. I wasn’t able to watch the dance because I didn’t have cash on hand and I didn’t want them to feel pressured to perform without my paying them. I’m sure I missed out! The tour is about an hour or so long and shopping will take about an hour. Highly recommend visiting and I hope to visit sometime in the future. Thank you ☺️

The facility is indeed a fascinating initiative. It's a workshop and cultural center where all the workers have disabilities, engaging in a variety of enterprises such as crafting traditional handicrafts, manufacturing hand-pedaled wheelchairs, and dyeing fabrics. The guide who showed you around has been working there for over 40 years, which speaks volumes about the dedication and passion behind this project. The entry fee and guiding is 750 Ksh. Once you arrive, you should first look for the souvenir shop, which also serves as the reception. There, you'll be assigned a guide. Beyond just being a place only for manufacturing crafts, the facility functions like a small town, complete with residential areas and a school. This holistic approach not only provides employment but also builds a supportive community for people with disabilities, making it a unique and impactful model worth supporting and exploring.

The best place for unique handicrafts made by persons with disability. You will find the cultural center a unique preservation of cultural heritage of various communities in Kenya and the way they lived before modern civilization
