Today is my 100th post! When I started out on this project, I didn't realize how much work and time would be involved in posting everyday. I will say, over the past 100 days, you and I have learned many things - some inspiring and some very disturbing. Thank you to all who have taken the time to read my posts and share them with others! If you are inspired to take action on behalf of any of the causes mentioned here, please do so! Please continue to share these posts with others and let's ignite a little common man philanthropy! Remember... Do what you can, where you are, with what you have!
BeadforLife is part of an international grassroots movement to overcome extreme poverty. Your participation in the Bead Circle makes a difference. Please join us. All of us together complete the Bead Circle: the Ugandans; party and event hosts; volunteers; and those who buy, give, wear and love these beautiful beads. There are already tens of thousands of us wearing bright paper jewelry made from strong Ugandan hands as a symbol of our commitment to work for a better world.
Our goal is for our members to be independent of BeadforLife within 27 months by being able to support themselves within the Ugandan economy. To assist members in launching their own small businesses or in creating new revenue streams, we provide entrepreneurial training, facilitate savings accounts, and make business funds available.
In addition to buying and selling the beads, BeadforLife sponsors Community Development projects in health, vocational training for impoverished youth, affordable housing, and business development. These projects are supported with the net profits from the sale of the beads, and support not only beaders, but other impoverished people living in Uganda.
