This is an incredible business venture that retails throughout Tanzania and abroad, and helps so many deaf and disabled people earn a salary who otherwise would have nothing. After an informative tour of the colorful workshop, you can spend the afternoon browsing the city’s Maasai Market and Cultural Heritage Center for traditional handicrafts and getting to know the locals life style.
