Soko is a women-led, people-first ethical jewelry brand and tech-powered manufacturing platform built to connect artisans in Kenya with the global market.
They use mobile technology to connect marginalized Kenyan artisans directly to the global marketplace. Unlike centralized factory production, we use technology to enable the human workforce.
Financial inclusion and economic sovereignty are the keys to lasting impact and change. They continue to work towards reducing inequality and poverty, building a healthier environment, and stronger communities through the creation of high-quality jobs with dignity and purpose.
