Onyango Evans Lyimo

Master of tailoring, now teaching apprentices

  • 🇰🇪 Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya
  • Little Mount Pleasant Trades Guild
  • Since 1982
  • English
I've worked in tailoring since 1982. I learned from my grandmother and passed what I could on to 1,720 apprentices. I can still tell good work from rushed work from across the street. I walk the dog by the river. It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

More about Onyango

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

Crafts and trades

What gifts mean to Onyango: A gift would go toward tools for apprentices who can't afford their own.
