**Beaded Cross Ornament - Support Agwata Girls!
HELP KEEP GIRLS IN SCHOOL
Each beautiful cross was beaded by a young girl in our Girls' Education Initiative which encourages girls in the Agwata village to stay in school, both to further her economic opportunities in the future and to delay marriage and childbirth. All of the profits for each cross sold supports this program.
YOUR PURCHASE MAKES A LIFE CHANGING DIFFERENCE
The girls as a group choose what to spend their money on, things such as soap for bathing, underwear, exercise books for school all the way to mattresses, bedding and metal lockers for when they can board at school. These are all Important things for girls determined to get an education. If their parents do not support them in getting an education, often they will tell their the girl, to "go get a man" to buy her such things. We hope that money from these cross sales will mean they do not have to consider such a bleak alternative.
