Product Description
Imagine wearing a stylish, beautifully carved bracelet that has been imaginatively crafted from recycled PVC pipe.
Our Africa Bracelet is skillfully created by the Ovahimba villagers in Namibia who would traditionally create these bracelets from cattle or African game horn. This contemporary version in PVC pipe has proven to be a much more versatile material that allows for far more intricate and involved carving. And as a special tribute to the environment, if the PVC was not reused in these bracelets, it would end up being burned on a garbage heap - both an environmental and health hazard.
Your purchase of this unique bracelet provides care, food, and schooling for children of this Namibian village and other areas of Africa ravaged by AIDS. Each bracelet is an artistic and meaningful symbol worn with the hopes of eradicating this disease forever.
The Women's Peace Collection is pleased to bring you the Africa Bracelet in partnership with UNTIL THERE IS A CURE, a national organization dedicated to eradicating HIV/AIDS by raising awareness and funds to combat this global pandemic that affects disproportionate numbers of women and children around the world.
The AFRICA bracelet IS A STANDARD 7 1/2" and fits most wrists.
GIFT BOX: The Africa Bracelet is available gift boxed. It will arrive in our signature white gift box with raffia ribbon and will be presented with a lovely copper Cambodian peace bell - once part of a disused landmine and now recreated into bells for their cows and oxen by villagers. Please choose this option at Checkout.
