We’ve witnessed how supporting a woman can transform a whole family.

Sarah, a guardian to five children, including her niece Daphine, is the perfect example of this strength, drive and resilience. Despite many hardships, Sarah never stopped working to give her family a safe and loving home.

Daphine explains how Awamu have helped “Sarah worked hard to support us, doing jobs from bead-making to farming. She used to come home sad, without hope. But now, she’s confident, believes in herself and works hard to provide for us.”

“Awamu has given our family a future.”

We’ve supported Sarah to grow her entrepreneurial skills. Now she is working towards her dream - to leave behind the tiny one room shack made from corrugated iron that the family share and build a home where each child can have their own bed.

Each bead she creates tells a story of resilience and hope, making her jewellery a powerful symbol of the future she’s building for her family.
