To improve the status of women in Kenya, Africa, through girl's education and women's business development.

Beads for Education was founded in 1933 and in the beginning the focus was on selling the beadwork of the Dupoto Women's Group in the USA so they could send their daughters to school. Many years later, we pay the school fees of over 300 girls at 3 different schools in kenya. We focus on education, but when people are starving all other considerations are secondary. During periods of famine, Beads does its part, buying, distributing food to the communities where we operate.
