About this project
KEEP IT UP !! We've made it to $1000 and let's keep that number rising!
It's a way to inspire beautiful artwork and share it between communities, and it creates a sustainable cycle to really improve African communities and the lives of disadvantaged artisans and their families. It's a business that exists for purpose, not for profit. < - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ((brought to you by Promote Africa))
100% of all our money will be used to:
- - - - - - - > benefit disadvantaged artisans
- - - - - - - > invest in African community development projects
Plus, you get to keep a piece of the intricate art and culture you help preserve!
PVC Bracelets: Artisans take used PVC pipe, which has been stripped from the ground and is destined for the landfill, and reuse it to make bracelets. Innovative, unique & environmentally friendly, but most importantly, the bracelets are stunning.
