A New Cause Driven Company for Passiflora!



Not Your Average Company

  1. At the end of every month the artisans of Acacia Creations receive their regular monthly salary. (It's standard practice in Kenya to pay an entire month's salary in one single payment at the end of the month).
  2. Throughout the course of a month, our workers are also paid a certain amount for every single piece of jewelry they make. In other words, they receive a percentage of the sale of that item before it's even sold! Depending on the item, they earn between 5 and 15% of the item's wholesale price. This ensures that our workers are paid throughout the month.
In all, our workers earn a wage 5 times higher than the national average in Kenya!! Acacia Creations also covers most medical costs for our employees and their families and we provide lunch daily at our Nairobi studio.
