Handmade Earrings by Embera Bead Project, Fringe Seed Bead Earrings, Social Impact

Embera Bead Project jewelry is created in Medellín, Colombia by Reincorporated NFP. Why is Embera Bead Project important? A large number of Embera people have fled their villages because of violence from armed groups and are living as internally displaced persons throughout the city of Medellin. Most of them have had a challenging time surviving in the city due to a lack of formalized education and the inability to speak Spanish. In order to meet their basic daily needs, many of these families beg for money or attempt to sell their handmade Embera-style jewelry to tourists on the streets. Unfortunately, This lifestyle is a significant risk to their family, making them more susceptible to targeted abuse and criminal activity. Currently, Embera Bead Project provides after-school children's programs, adult professional development classes, fair trade workshops, and nutritional medical assistance.
