PotomacBeads collects un-used beads from the community, and sends them to Medellin, Colombia, South America. These beads support dozens of families that have been forced from their homes in the jungles, and are learning to adapt the modern world.

The jewelry they sell in Colombia and through partners like PotomacBeads helps them to learn spanish, rent homes, and send children to school.

You can help in one of two ways

Send un-used beads to "Embera Project, 240 North Prospect Street, Hagerstown, MD 21740" for bulk shipment to South America.

Purchase Embera earrings, where 100% of the proceeds are provided to the Embera people.

Your help and support helps hundreds of people and children every year!
