Bead for life helps women in Uganda

Beads for Life Jewelry

BeadforLife eradicates extreme poverty by creating bridges of understanding
between impoverished Africans and concerned world citizens.
Ugandan women turn colorful recycled paper into beautiful beads, and people who care open their hearts, homes and communities to buy and sell the beads.

The beads thus become income, food, medicine, school fees and hope.
It is a small miracle that enriches us all.

All profits from BeadforLife are invested in community development
projects that help people work their way out of poverty.
