In 2009, Joan Hughes and Lindi Campbell Clause, two designers from Ireland and Kenya, set up this project which uses village workshops to employ and train the local community in tailoring; this is also production (and carbon-neutral) home base for the African Shirt Company. There are no set visiting hours but visits to the workshops can be arranged through Kasigau Base Camp.
