The Hands Project
Handmade in Uganda by Type 1 Artists
As part of one of our Economic Empowerment programs and in partnership with Myabetic we are excited to present our “Hands Project” which trains beneficiaries on creating art, textiles and jewelry which are sold on local and international markets.
Myabetic, creates fashion and lifestyle accessories designed for diabetes, and we’ve partnered with Myabetic to help distribute jewelry created through this project. Myabetic helps to ship and sell these products with proceeds going directly back to the artists.
