Volunteers from Shanti Uganda will be selling amazing handcrafted beads and textiles made by the women from these programs.
From Shanti Uganda. org
"Our women's group hand makes beautiful traditional Ugandan beaded jewelry and textiles and 100% of the proceeds from the sales goes towards Shanti Uganda. Each piece of fairly traded Shanti Uganda jewellery was handmade with love by one of the 22 women in our Women’s Income Generating Group. The jewellery was created by hand-rolling a long strip of recycled paper over a pin to create the hole, then varnished and fastened with a clasp. Each piece is unique and proceeds go directly to the women to help them accomplish their goals. The Shanti Uganda Society has carried out training programs for members of our Income Generating Training Program. Each woman is HIV positive and is a grandmother taking care of multiple grandchildren, a widow, or experiencing extreme poverty. Upon graduation, the women receive a certificate, the supplies needed to begin her craft, and ongoing support and education. Your purchase helps the Shanti Uganda Society improve the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of communities impacted by war, poverty and HIV/AIDS in Uganda. "
