- A glass blowing factory in Kenya is providing employment to a few during the post pandemic period and of late, it has recruited the first women employee
A glass blowing factory  in Kenya is now offering employment opportunities to many giving them  a source of income after the pandemic. The glass factory-Anselm’s Kitengela Hot Glass – founded 30 years ago specialises in recycling clear and green glass to make fine glassware and jewellery.
The company is located on the edge of Nairobi’s National Park. It provides job opportunities to over 70 locals. Importantly, the company recently recruited a woman employee into its rolls, creating a history of sorts since the industry has mostly men workers.
Glass-blowing is an old craft that is skill-heavy and requires deep concentration. Apart from glass blowing, the enterprise also recycles paper and plastics. It also manages an educational facility that trains people who are interested in glass blowing.
