You can make a difference

Jewelers in West Africa create wonderful jewelry using only basic tools, often recycling discarded materials and making their own equipment as needed. Those of us who have worked alongside these artists are moved to extend a helping hand, knowing that a gift of even a single tool can make a significant difference in these talented hands. Here is what you can do:

1. Help Us Buy New Tools

Cash donations support several projects, including education and wholesale purchase of specific tools. By clicking the orange Donate button below, you can specify any amount through a credit card or PayPal account. You have the option of a one-time contribution or an automatic monthly donation. You are also invited to specify a project, make your gift to honor someone special to you, or give us other instructions. Thank you! 

2. Silver Scraps

Perhaps you have a jar of scraps you've been meaning to refine. Send them to us and we'll refine them and get them to Africa.

Please send silver scrap to:
