Relief Beads for Darfur

Here’s another opportunity to contribute to raising awareness and support for the humanitarian efforts in Darfur.  I have two of these bracelets myself.  They are attractive, and I am quite often asked about them when I wear them.  It gives me an opportunity to share information and my concern for the people of Darfur.

Relief Beads is a grassroots campaign raising awareness and support for Relief International’s humanitarian efforts in Darfur.  Founded in 2007, Relief Beads has raised tens of thousands of dollars, which has provided life-saving relief for thousands of refugees.  Each Relief Beads bracelet truly makes a difference!

Contributions raised by Relief Beads aided in the construction of the only Women’s Development Center in Darfur.  The center is a place where women and children victimized by the crisis are able to get professional medical and psychological support.  Relief Beads bracelets are assembled by the women at the center and this provides them with an invaluable opportunity to contribute to their own livelihoods.

Relief Beads is also currently raising funds to build a Children’s Malnutrition Center at the second largest refugee camp in Darfur, Zam Zam.
