Kenya is located on the eastern shoreline of central Africa and is neighbored by Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda, Sudan and Somalia. Nearly 40% of Kenya's population is unemployed. Past election violence combined with local corruption and the recent global economic crisis have limited opportunities in Kenya's rural areas. SERRV partners with artisans in various areas of Kenya to ensure fair trade and equal opportunity.
