James Kimani Mugisha

Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices

  • 🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya
  • Kasarani Works
  • Since 1998
  • English, Swahili
My trade is shoemaking. I opened my own shop in 1998 in Kasarani and I'm still there most mornings. The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 14 years later for another job. I'm still learning every day.

More about James

Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
