BeadforLife eradicates extreme poverty by creating bridges of understanding between impoverished Africans and concerned world citizens. Ugandan women turn colorful recycled paper into beautiful bead jewelry, and people who care open their hearts, homes and communities to buy and sell the beads.
The beads become income, food, medicine, school fees and hope. It is a small miracle that connects and enriches everybody in the Bead Circle.
All net profits from BeadforLife are invested in community development
projects that help people work their way out of poverty.
Hi, my husband and I are involved with building a village for widows and orphans in Uganda. Due to my involvement in the community I have come across many ladies who are making beads but not able to sell them. How do I put them in contact with beadforlife. We are in Wairaka, which is near Jinja. The ladies are mainly widows and some are also HIV positive and as you can imagine life is a struggle.
Please send me information.
I would like to join your organisation yet i am in south africa I am a beader thanks to breast cancer I couldnt cope with the chemotherapy so my counsellor advised me to develop a hobby i tried sewing and mosaic and beading and i love beading I have a lot of women who i met and they try to sell their beads to eradicate poverty. I read your article it filled me with such great warmth about the work you are doing in Uganda i wish it can also be established here in South Africa besides the glamourous outlook a lot of women are surviving only beyond the breadline if i could manage to teach people how to use beads to enhance their lives it could be better for me.
i would like to know who my sponsor in the VET programme is here in uganda.
