Kenya's Souvenir Beadmakers Struggle as Tourism Opens for Annual Wildlife
Migration

Lenny Ruvaga

   NAROK, KENYA - The annual great migration of wildlife across Tanzania
   and Kenya usually attracts thousands of tourists on safari, providing
   income to people who depend on spending by the visitors -- such as
   souvenir makers. But, as the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed tourism,
   Kenya's craftsmen and women are suffering. In the city of Narok, women
   who specialize in beadwork to sell to tourists have seen their incomes
   drop to a fraction of what they were last year.
