    James,
    I LOVE that you are doing this. Will certainly check it out when I get back to Uganda in the new year. Will beads be up and running by Christmas? Would love to do some shopping for the fam.

    James- Great Job! Will this be similar to BeadforLife?
    Have you been to their organization in the south?
    Let me know,

    […] our workers are far from sweatshop laborers. They work from their homes on their own time to make our products. […]

    Hi Fiona!

    It’s similar to Bead for Life, but Acholi Beads is not a nonprofit. We’re a socially proactive business. Our goals are to make a profit for us and for our workers, and to share the story of the Acholi people with everyone who buys our beads. See the About Acholi Beads page for more!

    Blessings
