Beauty and the beads
Meet the women from Life Beads who create beautiful handmade jewelry to sustain themselves financially and make a difference in their community. Read more about their lives in northern Uganda below.
Strings of Hope
Restoring lives through jewelry
We love jewelry, and we love the women of northern Uganda. Life Beads was established in 2012 to empower women and improve their lives and community. Through the creation of jewelry, these women are given the opportunity for sustainable living to provide for their families. Each piece of jewelry is unique and handmade by Ugandan artists.
When purchasing Life Beads you not only get a beautiful piece of handmade jewelry, but also helping to break a cycle of poverty. Every woman who crafts Life Beads earns a consistent monthly income, enabling them to send their children to school, provide food and a home for their families, and pay for healthcare when necessary.
Life Beads is proud to partner with the work of Abaana’s Hope, a comprehensive family village in the Kinene community of northern Uganda. The women who create Life Beads live in the Abaana’s Hope community.
