About Us

Founder

As a world traveler, I have often reflected on how I could support the incredible artistry and craftsmanship of talented women while also contributing to their success. Now, as I transition from a long career in healthcare, I am thrilled to bring this vision to life.

My passion for creative design and the vibrant use of color has always inspired me. Through Kaleidoscope Creations, I aim to introduce a curated selection of handcrafted products, each showcasing the artistry, design, and rich tapestry of colors created by women.

It is my great pleasure to introduce Ajabu Beads, beautifully crafted in Kenya, as our inaugural product. Having visited seven African countries —including Kenya twice—each experience has been transformative, thanks in part to the remarkable women I’ve met. Their use of color in both everyday life and dress continues to inspire me.

Thank you for your interest and support as this journey begins!

“My name is Monca. I am a single mother of five children. Some years back before COVID-19 the company I used to work for was forced to let us all go. Ajabu gave me a second chance. I can provide for my children. Ajabu has challenges but through the support of our customers we can solve most of our problems. I thank Ajabu Beads because I can now sustain my children and myself.”

Kenya_Testimonial_Christine
“My name is Christine, and I am feeling blessed working for Ajabu Beads. I became jobless when COVID-19 struck the world and became so desperate because I could not afford a sustainable lifestyle. Taking care of my kids and ailing mother was so hard. We could only afford to have a meal once a day, struggled to provide my mother’s medication and the kids were in and out of school as paying the fee was hard. Ajabu Beads found me, gave me a job and now life is back to normal. I can now buy medicine for my ailing mother, put a plate of food on the table and have my kids in school. Thank you to all who support Ajabu Beads because through Ajabu Beads life is good.”
