These aren’t just grocery bags — they’re powerful tools for change. Made from upcycled cement bags, each one helps cut down plastic waste and keeps discarded materials out of landfills.
Even better? Your bag helps fuel Neema’s mission to uplift and empower young women in rural Kenya, giving them the skills and support to build brighter futures. Scroll down to see some of them and read their stories.
Every time you carry one, you’re not just shopping — you’re championing sustainability, spreading awareness, and sparking hope.

Winnie’s Story
Winnie is the last born in a family of six children. Her mother passed away when Winnie was still young, and her father abandoned the family. She attended school until 9th grade but had to drop out after the death of her mother because she was living in extreme material poverty. Like many vulnerable young women in rural Kenya, she became pregnant. But Winnie soon heard about Neema. There, she spent time in counseling and processing the grief of her past. She also built close friendships, grew spiritually, and passed her national exams in dressmaking!
