Kijana means “Boy” in Swahili, a language spoken in more than 14 countries mainly in East Africa. The loincloth is blue, with African motifs such as coris (shells), boxes, etc. Made of high quality silicone, non-toxic and anti-allergenic for children, environmentally friendly, the doll is smooth and soft to the touch. The eyes are made of acrylic and the hair is implanted by hand. The arm, leg and head joints can rotate 360°. The doll measures 32cm from the base of the skull to the toes. All these details make it look much more like a real little boy than most babies you find in stores. The doll complies with CE standards, so it is safe for children. The clothes are sewn by Afrowax Empire, a micro-company that is a partner in our project.
