Our handsome paper bead necklaces are made by hand by women in the internal refugee camps of Northern Uganda. The income from the sale of the necklaces helps them buy food, medicine, and school supplies for their children. In addition, net revenue from the necklace sales is given back to the camps
in the form of education, training and entrepreneurship development.

You can purchase necklaces such as these through our online store. You can find out more about the creation of these necklaces by selecting the Story page. If you would like to make a donation to help us further our work, any amount is gratefully accepted.

Paper to Pearls™ is an initiative of Voices for Global Change (www.vfgc.org) — a not-for-profit founded on the belief that when people who have had no voice, speak, they change their world. Our work supports and gives guidance to women, youth and any group that has been marginalized from full participation in the economic, political and social life of their communities and countries.
