Host a Bead Party Soon!

Have Fun While Making a Difference in the World
You can help the Ugandan Pit-tek Women increase their bead sales by hosting your own Bead Party to sell their wonderful paper bead and craft creations.  You can also hold bead events at your workplace, school, church, or club.   

Bead Party Sales Make a Tremendous Difference
The women beaders and their group receive $7 out of every $10 item sold. That's better than a "fair trade" price. All U.S. labor is volunteer so the Ugandan women receive all profits from the necklace sales. One bead party often generates more income than one Ugandan woman could earn if she previously worked all year. It helps them to send their children to school, to feed their families every day, to buy needed medicines, and even to start their own businesses.
 


Simple and Easy to Host!
Hosting a bead benefit party for the women is very easy and extremely rewarding. There is no cost to you to host a party. We suggest inviting 20 to 30 people you know to the party. This can be neighbors, co-workers, friends, people from church or school, or relatives. We will supply you with everything you need as a party hostess:

  Lots of colorful bead necklaces, bracelets and earrings 
  Simple instruction form and sales summary form
  Sample invitation form which you can print from your computer
  Informational Uganda brochures
  Return envelope and return address label 
  Pictures of the Pit-tek Women and inspiring quotes from them
  Three Ugandan recipes

Bead benefit parties can easily be held in the U.S. or Canada. October and November are ideal times to host a party because our necklaces are quite popular for holiday gift giving. We ideally need at least a 2 week lead time to help insure that the bead jewelry arrives in time for your party and that your invitees have enough notice about the party. We will need your credit card information in order to secure the necklace shipment until you have returned to us your necklace sales proceeds and any unsold necklaces within 2 weeks after your party date. No charges will be made against your credit card as long as all unsold necklaces and the sales proceeds are returned to us within the agreed upon time frame.
