About Me
- (MMET)
- Amidst the Trademark war ranging between Kenyan Art & Craft Traders and a UK firm over the Kikoi, a Trust by the traders for the traders has been formed. Barely 3 months old, Maasai Market Empowerment Trust(MMET) is a Non Governmental Organisation with over 1,000 members which was established to represent more than 5,000 traders based at the Maasai Market and other artisans spread through out the country. The Trust was formed due to the need for an organization that understands the intricacies of Intellectual Property as well as appreciate the cultural, economic and historical value art has in a country and its people.
