Ugandan jewellery and crafts are very popular with visitors. They are pretty, easy to learn to make and environmentally sustainable. By using recycled materials, we are able to make a variety of different products which are both beautiful and earth-friendly.
By training vulnerable people to make these crafts (like widows with children, street youth) we are able to provide an income for individuals who are difficulty supporting themselves and their children, dampening the poverty that forces many children onto the street. The proceeds of the jewellery go back into existing programs such as the hostel and feeding program. This way we are able to prevent further children from coming to the streets while supporting the ones already there.
