Acholi Bead Crafts, Uganda, Rutland Day, Rutland Water, Photographed


Acholi Bead Crafts, Uganda, Rutland Day, Rutland Water, Photographed

this lady was selling rubbish, well not really just some lovely things made from recycled rubbish.

Made by Alcholi woman in Unganda Africa.

These woman were forced to leave their homes in Northern Uganda due to atrocities committed 
against them in a 20 year long war.

The woman are mainly single mothers, many HIV-positive.

Most of them work crushing stones in a quarry,
earning barely enough to feed and clothe their families.
leaving nothing for school fees,

One alternative to this dangerous work is to make and 
sell these beads.
