"HOW" CAN WE GIVE?
We offer the opportunity for you to donate to this important charity. For a donation of $20 or more, we will send you a gift of a single strand traditional Uganda paper bead necklace. For a donation of $100 or more, we will send you a gift of a long (can be worn as double or triple strand) traditional Uganda paper bead necklace.

LUCY, THE NECKLACE LADY
On my last day in Kampala, I was able to visit Lucy, a lady who makes the beautiful, traditional Uganda necklaces out of paper beads. My daughter-in-law had come across Lucy on a previous trip to Kampala, and bought me two necklaces. (Coincidence? I think not!) I was so excited when she gave the necklaces to me! She had no idea I had it on my agenda to somehow find someone who makes the necklaces. Lucy is a fine Christian woman who has kindly offered to travel to Soroti and teach this craft to widows who don't live in areas sufficient to raise goats. I expect to take her up on this offer in the future. She turned out to be far beyond what I was looking for in a "necklace lady".
