Have you heard of 31 Bits? If not, you’re in for a real treat!
As you all know, we are adopting from Uganda. We love the country and are excited to find products from there.
Kallie Dovel, traveled to Uganda in the summer of 2007, getting a first- hand look at life in Northern Uganda. While she was there, she met women making paper beads but who lacked a plan to market and sell them. After spending time in their homes and hearing their stories, Kallie knew there had to be a way to give opportunities to her new friends. She brought a box of jewelry back to the U.S., and spent the next year finishing her degree and dreaming up the concept of a development organization. She brought a few friends on board and her ideas quickly evolved into 31 Bits. The girls traveled back to Uganda in August 2008, and selected six women to begin buying jewelry from on a monthly basis. Since then, we have grown to 99 women; each with a unique story of suffering that has been overcome with joy and liberation.
I LOVE the Shackle necklaces from 31 Bits. I was so excited to receive mine in the mail. It is amazing! My favorite part {besides it being made in Uganda}? The closure on it. I have such a hard time putting necklaces on that I end up not wearing them as often as I’d like because I never can get the closure to snap in the back. The clasp on the Shackle necklace is magnetic. Yep, talk about easy to put on!
I love the new line that they have – Color Out Loud.
And now for the giveaway…..
One lucky winner will receive a Shackle necklace from 31 Bits. Who wants it?
It is hard to pick just one favorite. I love the whole concept of helping the women in Uganda to liberate themselves. What an amazing concept for a business!
I like the Happy Night necklace a lot!
