Make a difference for just £5 a bracelet
Connect Kids has sourced these unique bracelets to help you make a difference in the world. The bracelets are made by disadvantaged communities in South Africa. At least 1/3 of what you pay for the bracelets goes directly to the people who make them; 1/3 to the charity you choose to support; and 1/3 to buy the beads and to operating costs.
We have decided to start with these causes – there are many, many more, and more will be added to the website from time to time.
Goodbye Malaria
The design of these bracelets was inspired by Africa and represents the continent’s heart and soul and the hope for better, happier lives and opportunities for the people of Africa. The yellow beads represent sunshine, life, and happiness to communities and families who have been in the dark – families that have been smitten by the disease. The red beads symbolise ‘the heart’, which represents ‘life’. Inspiration behind the red beads comes from the stamens of the Citronella flower – without the stamens there is no life.
