October 17th is World Poverty Day, and this year’s theme is “From poverty to decent work: bridging the gap.”
Could there be a more appropriate theme that relates directly to the 46664 Bangle project!
This year, the United Nations is focusing on sustainable models for economic stability through job creation. Through the small contribution of purchasing a 46664 Bangle, people around the world are supporting a project which creates employment for the less fortunate. The 46664 Bangle bracelet becomes a tangible reminder of global social issues; such as poverty, hunger, education and HIV AIDS prevention.
Every 46664 Bangle is handcrafted in South Africa, and even the packaging is made locally, to increase employment. Read these touching letters from people who have received income as a result of the 46664 Bangle project.
As the United Nations initiative reminds us,
“The campaign to make poverty history – a central moral challenge of our age – cannot remain a task for the few, it must become a calling for the many. On this International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, I urge everyone to join this struggle. Together, we can make real and sufficient progress towards the end of poverty.” ~ United Nations Ex-Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, 17 October 2006″.
46664 Bangle owners – wear your 46664 Bangle with extra pride on this day, knowing you have made a positive difference in the lives of others.
