Imagine a product that has the ability to benefit two separate entities at the same time; the Back to Africa jewelry line benefits vulnerable families in Africa by providing fair wage jobs and donates the profits to orphans around the world.
Back to Africa works with Heart of the Bride, a charity that helps better the lives of orphans and improve orphanages around the world. The products are created in Kenya and Zambia which are then shipped to the United States to be sold online and in showrooms. The hand-crafted Back to Africa jewelry is composed of semi-precious stones and leather cords. Each piece has a name representing an uplifting word in Kiswahili.
