about the artisan
Ugandans are avid newspaper readers and at the end of the day, nothing goes to waste! Old newspapers are collected, cut, sized, shaped and dyed into beautiful jewelry, each part of the process taking place by skilled (men and) women! one little world partners with an amazing organization that employs over 400 women, providing them with not only the means to generate income that pay for schools fees for their children, but also, to seek medical care when necessary. Minded on the latest fashion trends, each piece tells the story of Uganda, with each and every paper bead.
Testimonials
One little world fair trade is amazing, I absolutely love everything in this store. It's my go to for gifts and extra nice things for my home. Kudos to Jodie and her team/family for creating such a warm, thoughtful and positive presence in our neighborhood. I learn something new every time I go and I can't wait to attend some of the live workshops!
I've bought a few things from One Little World that are used and enjoyed regularly in my home (exp: felt mistletoe decoration, dryer ball). Both are still in very good condition even after years of use. I also appreciate having this option to support more civil and dignified working conditions for people who create these products.
