These charming ornaments are made from fallen jacaranda tree branches, carved by hand for a unique touch. Hang them up on decorative branches, doors, windows or Christmas trees. You can also use them as keychains or to decorate your bags and purses.
One of our carved birds is named Tumaini. This simply beautiful wood-colored bird symbolizes our commitment to Mifuko Trust, a nonprofit organization founded in 2012 that improves the quality of life for rural communities in southeastern Kenya
In the Swahili language, "tumaini" means "hope" - a positive attitude and belief in a better future. In Swahili culture, hope is a vital resource that helps people cope with difficulties and maintain an optimistic perspective.
This bird makes an excellent gift for both business and private customers, as it serves as a reminder of hope and resilience—powerful strengths that create space for positive change in the rural areas of Kenya through the efforts of Mifuko Trust.
Our wooden ornaments are made in Kapya Kitungwa's Fair Trade workshop in Kenya that employs refugees. Read more about how our ornaments are made.
