Tumaini Hope: New Fall Line from Tanzania

Ukanda
Convertible Belt / Necklaces by Tumaini Hope
All of the beadwork in the Tumaini Hope line is made by women who are participating in a training program where they are learning to create and sell items to improve their quality of life. These women
face many hardships as it is difficult to raise enough money for their most basic needs.
Each jewelry piece sold helps make lasting change in their lives.



This particular design has SO MANY variations of ways you can wear it. Belt, Long necklace, Wrap Necklace. It is simply a beautiful design - a lovely piece to WOW people with.



They come in many colors. You can visit my STORE to see the many items they are creating.

CHRISTMAS Gift Idea

What could be a better gift then a pair of handcrafted earrings made with paper beads made in Africa? Oh wait- I know... a pair of handcrafted earrings in a Maasai Gift Bag from Africa. Can you say... BONUS!

And all for only $20! 

Now that is a fabulous gift that keeps on giving. By purchasing these earrings you are not only getting a really cute gift for someone - you are also helping those that handcraft the beads. A percentage of all sales go back to help people in Africa.

New TRIBAL CHIC Line w/ Paper Beads from AFRICA

These earrings were inspired by my LOVE for AFRICA. I picked many of the beads up on one of the outreach trips our family went on to Tanzania & Kenya. Some of the others were purchased through Fair-Trade from women in Kenya. 

Many times when we are working with the Maasai we watch the women sitting around in groups doing their beadwork. I imagine the same with these beads - women sitting around conversing about their lives with treasured friends while their hands are busy working away on these colorful recycled magazine beads.

I have worked hard to keep a primitive, tribal look to each pair of these staying true to the origins of the beads.
