Consider Gifts that Give~ Gifts of Hope & Help~ Amazima

    In the last six months or so we were able to listen to the audio book Kisses from Katie as the kids and I  drove here and there. We loved it! We have found ourselves compelled and inspired. This book is helping to water seeds of compassion and awaken a desire- a need- a calling to serve the poor and the orphan in new and different ways in our lives.
    I received one of their beautiful necklaces for Christmas and in turn Luke & able were able to purchase these for our girls at Valentine's. It was a special gift for Cianne particularly after listening to the book. There was a real connection, her necklace cared for others. Special gifts that gift so very much! Thanks mom I love mine!

Amazima Store

About Our Store ( taken from the Amazima Website)

In 2007, at the age of 18, Katie Davis traveled to Uganda for the first time.  She fell in love with the people of Uganda and started Amazima Ministries to help educate and empower the people with God's love. 

Every product in this store is hand-crafted by women who live in the slum community of Masese. These women once turned to prostitution, alcohol brewing, and digging through the trash as their only means for providing for their families.  Seeing their desperation, Katie initiated a vocational program through Amazima Ministries, training the women in the making of recycled magazine bead necklaces. Each woman invited into the program has been nominated by her community as being of good reputation, work ethic, and character.  They are responsible to supply their own materials and to craft their own jewelry.  Amazima purchases these beautiful necklaces, bracelets, and other pieces from the women at wholesale and makes them available to you. 

All profits from the sale of these jewelry pieces will go directly to Amazima's feeding program in Masese.  Every day, Monday through Friday, 1,200+ children rely on Amazima for a nutritious lunch.  For some children, this is the only meal they will eat in the day.  

Brighten your favorite outfit with a gorgeous new piece of jewelry from Uganda.  Dazzle your friends and family with colorful, radiant colors draped around your neck.  But most importantly, know that your purchase employed a hard-working Ugandan woman AND fed a starving child in the name of Jesus.
