In the Loita Hills of Southern Kenya, just a few miles from the Tanzanian border, Maasai ladies, supported by the Red Tribe Beadwork initiative, work turn simple beads into something far more meaningful. What began in 2010 with one widow and a handful of beads has grown into a community of artisans, each piece they make carrying the quiet rhythm of tradition, skill and daily life in this remote corner of Kenya.

The beadwork is just one strand of RedTribe’s wider work - helping fund education, clean water, healthcare and sustainable livelihoods for the wider community. Meeting the women at the heart of this makes the charity's impact feel unmistakably personal. The images from this series aren’t just about the jewellery; they’re about the makers, their stories and the beauty that comes from resilience practiced together, bead by bead.
