Businessman creates stylish bamboo interior decor to preserve family legacy

Boniface Maina grew up in the midst of a bamboo plantation. His father owned a bamboo farm in Central Kenya, and used proceeds from the farm to fend for his family. This early introduction to business and environmental conservation stuck with Maina from a tender age, as he used to assist his father in tending the farm.

It is no surprise, then, that when Maina completed his education, the first venture he could think of was to continue in his father’s footsteps. This marked the beginning of his company, Elegance Bamboo Ventures, which  was founded in 2008.
