About this user
BEAD BY BEAD IS A SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS!
Bead by Bead, translated to Croatian means "Perlica po Perlica".
...Bead by Bead, rolling the leftovers of coloured paper, the hardworking, creative women from Uganda in Eastern Africa make unique necklaces and bracelets.
They live in the poorest area of Kampala, Uganda's capital and they come mostly from the devastated northern parts of the country. They are creative and want to change their lives. We are here because of them.
Bead by Bead is a company which does business like any other, the only difference is that it invests 20% of its profit and gives it back to the community that makes our products. Bead by Bead does this by investing in children's education, health insurance, and various other socially beneficial projects.
It is not about merely giving out money, but truly taking the responsibility for further prosperity of these communities and the people who live there.
We strongly believe that socially responsible business is a model for the future.
Our mission is to economically strengthen those that are very poor but creative, by providing them a possibility to have a steady income, and to find a market for them that will be interested in their creativity and their products.
With their hard work, not charity, they will be able to feed their families and finally get out of the enchanted circle of poverty, and we'll be there to help them personally and financially so they can prosper and become active participants in their community.
Bead by Bead jewellery is hand-made from recycled paper and all necklaces and braceletes are unique.
This unique product will charm you with their simplicity, beauty and colours.
