Announcement    Eco-friendly Krobo recycled-glass beads and handmade tribal jewelry and findings, with 100% of the proceeds going to Soul of Somanya, a non-profit offering living wage employment in the field of jewelry-making to young adults in Ghana, West Africa. Job prospects for young people without family connections and good educations are few in Ghana's rural areas. Without intervention, many young women and men end up migrating to large cities looking for work, but end up on the streets instead as prostitutes, thieves or beggars. In order to support the Krobo bead industry as a whole, we buy the beads at retail (rather than wholesale) prices for resale here and elsewhere in the global marketplace. 100% of the proceeds from all sales in this shop go to fund Soul of Somanya.

In compliance with laws governing the sale of children's products, we state here that our products are not intended for use by children 12 years old or under.
