Bead for life Donation



Hi Bead for Life fans

I made my first lump donation to BFL! I love this organization. I do plan on increasing my collection for Bop Dot. This is such a phenomenal group to support. So, thank you to everyone who has purchased through Bop Dot and made the donations possible. I received a letter from them letting me know what the money directly benefits within BFL. I want to share this with all of you~

The three main categories are:

Income Generation (for the beaders)
The women making the beads and Jewelry earn 5-7 times what they earned prior to joining bead for life!

Housing
More than 50 homes have been built for members and their families. A road and wells were also built. This next year they BFL will help build up to 60 more homes.

Vocational Training
In 2007 BFL had 100 students in vocational training programs to help Ugandans to a direct path our of poverty.

The goal is to help eradicate poverty!

Again, thank you to everyone who has purchased and help to support this group!
