When you go on a trip, you probably take a single suitcase. But when Margaret Higgins Bowker \u201968 travels to Kenya, she returns with eight\u2014stuffed to bursting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arts & Sciences alum runs Kenya Arts<\/a>, a nonprofit that buys handmade baskets from women in remote villages, sells them in the U.S., and returns the profits to the makers. And now, a Cornell undergrad is helping her expand the philanthropic venture online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2001, Bowker has been buying baskets by the hundreds, then selling them at U.S. markets and craft fairs. Made from sisal plants, they come in a variety of vibrant dyed hues, woven with natural shades to form intricate patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bowker has bought baskets from more than 500 women in the Taita villages around Kenya\u2019s Mount Kasigau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she explains, they\u2019re paid twice for their crafts: once when she buys the baskets, and again when she returns to give them the profits from their subsequent sale in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a very big trust factor with what I do,\u201d says Bowker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get a pretty good price for the baskets\u2014but the women know that I will always come back and bring them at least double what they made when I bought them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A former zoology major, Bowker first traveled to Kenya in 1973, spending a year doing research for her doctorate in animal behavior from Northern Arizona University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She returned in 2001 when her husband, Richard Bowker \u201968, a department head at Western Kentucky University, led a group of students to the Mount Kasigau region for research projects and a cultural exchange with counterparts from the University of Nairobi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The women know that I will always come back and bring them at least double what they made when I bought them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Visiting villages to buy food and supplies, Bowker met some of the local women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she learned about their lives\u2014including that they sometimes struggled to afford their children\u2019s school fees and other necessities\u2014she was inspired to buy the first of what would become thousands of baskets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cEvery time we go, I feel like I\u2019ve gone back to what is elementary in life,\u201d says Bowker, who has taught biology part time at several universities. \u201cThat\u2019s water, a roof over your head, some nutritious food to get you through the day, and safety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Bowker visits, the women display their baskets collectively and she buys at least one from each person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she makes her selections, a group secretary records the price and maker of every item she purchases.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she returns with the proceeds\u2014amounting to thousands of dollars\u2014the women collectively decide what to spend it on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous years\u2019 earnings have gone toward tanks to collect rainwater; tuition and school supplies; and seeds for planting crops on the small plots that the women tend near their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Every time we go, I feel like I\u2019ve gone back to what is elementary in life.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Bowker has since expanded into buying handmade jewelry from a Kenyan man who crafts unique pieces from beads, antique silver, bone, and other materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she sells copies of a book she created, My Village<\/em>, that features colored pencil drawings by Kenyan children depicting their daily lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bowker\u2014who doesn’t keep any of the profits from her ventures\u2014sells the items at craft fairs in and around Alexandria, VA, where she lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with help from a fellow Cornellian, she is broadening her audience with an online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago, while still in high school, fellow Alexandria resident Anna Foote \u201928 attended a craft fair where Bowker was selling the handicrafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Bowker was talking to a potential customer, Foote happened to overhear her telling the story behind the baskets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was fascinated with what she did,\u201d recalls Foote, a global development major in CALS. \u201cI told her I would love to help her, because I really believe in the cause.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early August 2025, the two launched an ecommerce website<\/a> for the Kenyan products\u2014and, as part of her Cornell studies, Foote hopes to do research in the villages where Bowker sources her baskets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had ideas of what I wanted to do in life,\u201d says Foote. \u201cAnd meeting her\u2014such a compassionate and supportive person\u2014was a reminder that I\u2019m on the right path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
