Daniel Ombasa Apepo

KISAC Fair Trade · Est. Founder

The heart and founding vision of KISAC Fair Trade. Daniel established KISAC with a singular, unwavering mission — to help thousands of artisans transform their innate gifts into a sustainable, dignified, and professional career on the world stage.

Under his leadership, KISAC has bridged the gap between remote quarries and international collectors, creating a living ecosystem where every artisan is fairly compensated for both their spiritual and physical labor. His work is not just business — it is legacy.

The Hands
That Create

200+ Artisan Families · Tabaka, Kisii

Behind every KISAC piece is a family. Mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters who have inherited a tradition older than living memory — the art of shaping soapstone into something the world has never quite seen before.

KISAC exists to serve these hands. Our entire operation is built around one purpose: making sure the people who create the art are the ones who benefit from it most.

"We do not carve for the market. We carve because the stone calls us. KISAC helps the world hear that call."
