Wanawake wa Turkana wanatumia mitandao ya kijamii kuuza vikapu vya jadi na kupanua masoko yao ndani na nje ya Kenya.

Ruth Acharait, mama mwenye umri wa zaidi ya miaka 50 kutoka Lodwar, anasema ufumaji wa vikapu ni urithi kutoka kwa mababu zao. Yeye ni mwanachama wa makundi ya Lodwar Baskets na Beads Youth Group yaliyoanzishwa mwaka 2013.

Makundi hayo yameongezeka kutokana na matumizi ya WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok na X. Mauzo ya vikapu yameongezeka maradufu tangu wafungue akaunti za mitandao.

Mradi wa IMARA uliotekelezwa na World Vision Kenya kwa ushirikiano na Ubalozi wa Sweden ulikamilika Aprili 2026. Uliwagharamia SEK211 milioni na kuwafikia zaidi ya watu 73,000 katika kaunti tisa za maeneo kame na nusu-kame zikiwemo Turkana.
