Earrings by Embera Bead Project, Fringe Seed Bead Earrings, Social Impact (Whiskey)

The Embera Bead Project jewelry is handcrafted in Medellín, Colombia by Reincorporated NFP, an organization that aims to support Embera Indigenous people who have been displaced due to violence. Many Embera individuals have struggled to survive in the city of Medellin without formal education or Spanish language skills. To make ends meet, they often resort to begging or selling their handmade jewelry on the streets, putting themselves at risk of exploitation and abuse.

The Embera Bead Project is crucial in providing support to these vulnerable communities. Through after-school programs for children, professional development classes for adults, fair trade workshops, and medical assistance, the project aims to empower Embera families to build a better future for themselves. By purchasing jewelry from the Embera Bead Project, customers can contribute to creating positive social change for the Embera people in Medellín.

The earrings by Embera Bead Project are made with glass beads and crafted by artisans in Medellín as part of a development program. By supporting these artisans, customers can help promote social impact and empower indigenous communities in Colombia.
