Winifred Kasivu, lovingly known as Bibi is a skilled artisan from Kitui County, Kenya.

She has been weaving for over 20 years, a craft passed down to her by her mother. What began as a tradition has become a livelihood, one rooted in patience, care, and deep knowledge.

Bibi is a mother of five, and through her work, she has been able to support her family and build a more stable future. In a region where opportunities can be limited, especially for women, weaving offers something powerful: the ability to earn, to provide, and to choose.

For Bibi, each basket is more than something beautiful, it carries a story of resilience, heritage, and hope.

She dreams that one day, her daughters will carry this work forward, continuing a legacy that has already spanned generations.
