Beads of Awareness was a volunteer-run social enterprise dedicated to empowering women in northern Uganda between 2009 and 2025.
We bought from three artisan groups
in the Gulu region of Uganda—helping support over 65 individuals and their families
We issued over 250 loans, allowing borrowers to launch micro-enterprises and transition toward sustainable livelihoods
We also supported many local development projects in the Gulu region.

Our operations in both Canada and Uganda were made possible thanks to our two Ugandan staff and committed volunteers in Canada.
