find markets
For Kenyan artisans to thrive, a vital connection to broader markets is essential. At The Opportunity Factory, we undertake this mission in two distinctive ways:
We’ve curated this directory with the intention of bridging the gap between creators and potential customers. It’s based on extensive research revealing that many businesses collaborate with communities on a casual and informal basis. At present, information about makers isn’t freely shared, making it extremely difficult for clients to contact you.
At a base level – our job at Opportunity Factory is simplifying the process for potential clients to locate artisans with specific skills in their desired craft. If you possess unique craft skills, our mission is to enhance your visibility and accessibility to ensure clients can easily discover and reach you.
This directory is your portal to finding skilled artisans. We recognize that the true potential lies in unlocking the relationship between makers and international markets. However, we also acknowledge the distinctive needs of international customers, often distinct from those of local markets.
Building on the extensive knowledge cultivated by Sandstorm Kenya over the span of two decades, The Opportunity Factory offers a unique solution: Sampling and Production Development. This service streamlines the production process, instilling confidence in international buyers. Our mission is to facilitate seamless communication, ensuring absolute clarity among all stakeholders. This enables effective production management, eradicating any potential confusion related to materials, specifications, or deadlines.
