The Designers
A Team of women from Eastern Part of Kenya where Dorcus Beads is situated, regularly come together for a full-day process of designing new products, reflecting on team development and going for home visis. This strength-based process has been the foundation for Dorcus Beads ways of working and it is through this that the team celebrated four years of achievements, March this year.
Dorcus Beads ladies come from different backgrounds, some of them are married,others widows, young adults and single women. The space provided for designing the products and the opportunity for fellowship continues to glue them together.
Their resilience to adopt to new ventures is extraordinary and it has been possible to fulfill orders within good timing. The exceptional leadership styles, great communication, and long term relationships have been key aspects to ensure that quality and quantity is always maintained.
