NIB Akola Set of 2 Royal Blue Bicone Beaded Adjustable Bracelets & Suede Bag

NIB Akola Set of 2 Royal Blue Bicone Beaded Adjustable Bracelets Handmade Leather Cord Adjustable Slide Closure Suede Jewelry Bag Akola is on a mission to empower women to transform their lives and communities. Akola’s manufacturing operations are based in Jinja, Uganda – a beautiful city along the Nile River. There, nearly 200 Akola women, largely from rural communities are given dignified employment and living wages. Akola’s vision is to create a female-empowered workforce that will be a strong contributor to Africa’s economic development. In Uganda, the average person earns less than $1.90 per day. As part of her employment, an Akola woman receives living wages that enable her and her family to live above the poverty line. But job creation isn’t enough. Akola also provides a holistic curriculum of programs: training our employees in leadership and financial literacy and giving them the skills that will graduate their entire family out of poverty and into long-term self-reliance.
