Mistletoe Market 2009

Erica and Patrick at the annual
Mistletoe Market
hosted by Rosslyn Academy.

This is Noor Creation's first year to participate in the many Christmas sales and exhibitions that take place throughout Nairobi. Erica, Patrick and Aisha are taking care of the Noor display today. It is a great opportunity to tell other people about the project and help the ladies sell jewelry.
Solidarity Necklace
The Noor ladies are asking women to stand in solidarity with the women of Iftin as they strive together to empower the refugee women of their community. The Solidarity Necklace is a symbolic way of showing unity with victims of violence, conflict and war. Every necklace purchased assists these refugee women to overcome poverty with dignity.
Women Helping Women
For a Brighter Future

A selection of bracelets, necklaces, earrings
and beads all produced by the women of Noor



Not your typical Christmas tree!

Although Noor jewelry is on sale only in Kenya this Christmas, we do hope to be able to bring some back to Canada with us this spring. Our hope is that we'll have a website with a catalogue up and running this year to help the Noor ladies to market and sell their products. We are also very thankful for a few friends who have offered to sell some of the jewelry in their Canadian stores. If you are interested in learning more about how you can support these ladies or about purchasing their jewelry you can contact Erica at four_kennys@yahoo.ca . Please continue to hold these women in your prayers!
