Bead for Life – Eradicating Poverty One Bead at a Time

Comments Off

Imagine if the jewelry you wore on Valentine’s day could actually help African women working their way out of extreme poverty? Well you don’t have to imagine it -  Nonprofit BeadforLife offers it.   They have Valentines Day-colored bracelets, necklaces, chokers, and other jewelry (also other colors too)  that are handmade by Ugandan women who are escaping poverty and a bloody Civil War. They turn colorful recycled paper into beautiful beads.  The beads are then sold, which in turn become a source of income-food, medicine, education and most importantly-HOPE.

For more information about all the good that BeadforLife does,  check the website.  All Valentines orders must be placed by Feb 9 in order to be received by Valentine’s Day.
