About Us

BeadforLife® is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and member of the Fair Trade Federation that works to fight extreme poverty in Uganda. We create sustainable opportunities for women to lift their families up by creating a circle of connection around the world.

Women in Uganda work hard to create beautiful jewelry from hand-rolled recycled paper beads and harvest Shea nuts to make natural Shea butter products. Women around the world sell these items and educate others about extreme poverty by hosting Bead Parties. All funds raised support women in Uganda and the effort to end extreme poverty worldwide.
