EMPOWERING WOMEN, SAVING CHILDREN

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A HAND UP, NOT A HAND OUT. CREATING SELF-SUPPORTING FAMILIES THROUGH
ENTREPRENEURSHIP, ONE WOMAN AT A TIME.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KIPSONGO SLUM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


MEET THE LADIES...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Click on the video to meet the ladies of Kipsongo. These ladies live in harsh
conditions and manage to enjoy their lives and take care of their families, no
matter what. The soundtrack on the video is the ladies singing joyfully.

KITALE, KENYA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


HOW IT ALL BEGAN...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Baskets & Beads project was started by Eldonna when she went on a mission
trip to Kitale, Kenya in February 2018 and met the ladies of the Kipsongo slum.

The buildings in the slum are mud huts — about the size of a small storage shed
— no running water - no bathrooms. Most children are malnourished. School
enrollment and literacy rates are very low, and adequate healthcare and economic
opportunity is severely lacking.

After visiting Kipsongo, Eldonna discovered they were making hand crafted
jewelry out of magazines and seed beads. She woke up in the middle of the night
after the visit with a God inspired idea to buy some beads and sell them with
her book when she speaks. "Book and a Bead" was born and it has steadily grown
from there.




PAPER BEADS HANDCRAFTED FROM MAGAZINES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These beads are one of the primary products the ladies produce both necklaces
and bracelets. They are made from paper and known in Kenya as "paper beads." The
ladies cut the paper into strips, roll the strips into beads, and string them
into a necklace.

CREATIVE ENTREPRENEURS IN KENYA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are working to develop the ladies as business owners and teach
entrepreneurial, financial and leadership skills. The primary products are
baskets, beads and bags hand crafted and in various designs. Eldonna had the
idea to sell the items with her books when she speaks at events and
organizations. It has turned into much more with our permanent spaces in Fair
Trade Long Beach in Long Beach California and Open Market OC in Laguna Hills
California. We also have several stores and gift shops purchasing for resale and
have formed the Dynamic Vision Foundation (DVI), a 501c3 non profit whose
mission is to help displaced and suffering people.



The ladies receive the benefit of the proceeds up front. We purchase the
handcrafted items directly from them and then market to individuals, boutiques
and church gift shops in the US and abroad. The products are Fair Trade
(promotes fair compensation, safe and healthy conditions, direct and long-term
relationships, transparent business practices, and workplaces free from
discrimination and forced child labor) and provides an opportunity to teach
entrepreneurship, empower women and save children from a life of poverty.

Your donations and purchases help these women have honor by building a viable
business and enables them to feed their families and send their children to
school.
