 APTA Charities - Beads for Education
BEADS mission is to enhance the status of women in the community and to promote environmental awareness with a goal of preserving natural resources. BEADS programs provide school scholarships for African girls, promote business development for African women and support conservation through education.
Beads for education is a non-profit organization that promotes Maasai womens business development, provides ongoing sponsorships for girls until their education is completed and sponsors workshops in Kenya on AIDS and human rights awareness.
The women create one-of-kind hand-beaded goods that are their main source of income. BEADS supports the Group's efforts by selling their products. All of the profit is returned to the women's business or used to sponsor their daughters' education, which has a major impact on their lives and the environment.
