Giving Through Beads

PotomacBeads collects un-used beads from the community to ship to Medellin, Colombia in South America. These beads support dozens of families that have been forced from their homes in the jungles.  The Emberra people use the beads sent to them to make and sell jewelry.  

The jewelry they sell in Colombia and through partners like PotomacBeads helps them to learn Spanish, rent homes, send children to school, and make a better life in our modern world.  Families can eat for a week with what they earn from selling each piece of jewelry.

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. Thank you!
