Katwe Savings and Credit Assoc. Jewelry Project

A self-help group has created a community based organization to offer members the chance to make items for sale. One example is the jewelry made from paper beads. These colorful and light-weight items begin from strips of glossy paper, often old calendars or National Geographic magazines. The paper is hand rolled and glued into place. The beads are then strung, with fasteners added. The range of colors, styles and lengths is amazing.
