It's clear that there's not enough support to help ex-prisoners stay out of the correctional system. Many relapse into crime because they lack societal support post incarceration and many struggle financially which leads them to commit crimes to survive.
This is what Mneti Huru seeks to overturn. Mneti-Huru is a community based empowerment organisation based in Kawangware in Nairobi consisting of skilled carpenters who were formerly incarcerated at different Kenyan prisons for years. Mneti Huru offers economic and psychosocial support by reintegrating ex-prisoners back into society.
Mneti Huru builds sustainable, durable furniture from local wood. With just a handful of carpenters, this small start-up doesn't have much of a presence in bustling Kawangware. But what it lacks in scale, Mneti Huru makes up for with its impact on individual lives. It is in the business of second chances. "These people deserve to be working and to get a second chance."Says founder and coordinator Njuguna Kariuki.
Mneti Huru's carpenters are skilled in creating bespoke pieces for your home or business. From Pallet outdoor furniture, King sized beds, Consoles, Book shelves, the whole shebang! And their prices are fair too.
Supporting this socially conscious furniture business will go a long way in preventing recidivism and giving more ex-prisoners a second chance at life. Call 0726 829457 to make an order or arrange a visit to their workshop.
