Give a beautiful, hand-made African gift with a purpose!

LIFTED engages Uganda women in money generating employment to supplement their income and help them care for their families. Our friend Mama Alice is doing a great job sewing the bibs and receiving profits to provide for her large family. I just recently visited Alice and was able to pay her for the last batch of bibs she made! She is putting the money towards the building of a small mud house with a tin roof, which will eventually become their home. She is currently living in a mud home that is being destroyed by ants and the thatched roof is old, leaking and in need of replacement. Alice is also training her cousin in hand stitching. As soon as she is able to stitch properly, she will join the LIFTED team.

We are excited to share that we are in the process of extending LIFTED to an area close to Kampala, where we are currently living. We hope to train and employ several additional women in the coming year. To do this, we need to continue selling LIFTED bibs and getting the word out about these one-of-a-kind baby gifts! We need your help! Do you have a blog? Can you help spread the word about LIFTED Uganda bibs to your friends and family? How about sharing a link on your FaceBook page?

LIFTED Uganda Bibs--All profits go back to the artists. Hand made using the beautiful, colorful Ugandan wax cloth. Each bib is decorated with a LIFTED tag which includes a biography and photo of the artist.
