The sparrow is one of Mifuko Trust's emblematic birds, alongside Tumaini. The sparrow is a small, modest bird that often goes unnoticed, but its endangerment reminds us of the fragility of life on Earth.
The sparrow symbolizes all of us – small yet significant – and serves as a reminder that every species is essential for maintaining balance.
Mifuko Trust is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in rural communities in southeastern Kenya. Through initiatives like forest gardens and climate-smart agricultural solutions, the Trust works to enhance biodiversity and sustain life on our planet.
Our wooden ornaments are handcrafted at the family-owned workshop of Nicodemus and Cecilia in Nairobi, Kenya. The ornaments are carved following Fair Trade principles. Learn more about how these ornaments are made here.
