Tell your story on your wrist with these beaded bracelets handmade in Ghana. Lovely as a single gift - or buy two so you and your loved one can both wear the same bracelet, linking you across the room or across the world. Each bracelet comes with a tag describing the bracelet's story as told through the beautiful, hand-painted beads.

Global Mamas was founded in 2003 to help create prosperity for African women and their families. Their amazing global network of thousands of people includes the artisans who hand make high-quality goods, employees who manage production and provide customer service, international volunteers and interns who help with development, and donors who fund expansion. Global Mamas is justifiably proud of its organization and the empowerment of its African Mama artisans. Its Mamas have educated their children, purchased new equipment, developed new skills, opened shops, and built homes. Amazing and inspirational! Global Mamas’ Odumase Krobo Beadmaking Center was their second Ghana location. It works with 30 beadmakers in the community and directly employs 20 young women to assemble the bead products at the Global Mamas office. Fair trade certified.
