Use your creative jewelry making skills to help us reformat our paper beaded jewelry options to have a more current updated look. We need someone who can work on this project 4 to 10 hours per week for at least an initial 6 week period. Then, a lesser number of hours through the implementation of the new styles through the end of August 2018. Ongoing volunteer consulting after that date would be a plus.
Help is mainly needed on simpler necklace and bracelet styles that most of our Ugandan women could do in Uganda once they have been trained.

Prior to working with OU, our women participants were normally living on less than $2 per day, and were supporting 8 to 10 children and orphans in their households. Many are widows whose husbands died in the war, or from AIDS.
We do not give handouts but work on building capacity and encouraging those we work with to help themselves.
