Abayudaya Jewelry

Description

Unique Jewelry hand-crafted by Ugandan women of Jewish, Muslim and Christian belief is a beacon of hope, creating peace and cooperation among the villagers. They turn recycled magazines into chic one-of-a-kind necklaces. Each bead is hand cut from recycled magazines, rolled, varnished and then strung on a cord and finished with a clasp. The beaders select colorful wood or elegant metal accent beads to embellish each piece. The women take a tremendous sense of personal accomplishment and pride knowing the work they do helps their families and their community. 100% of all profits go directly back to the community benefitting local health services including clean water, mosquito nets, HIV/AIDS prevention and the new Tobin Health Center.
