Batwa Pygmy Necklaces

Batwa Pygmy Necklaces

Mothering Across Continents necklaces are strung by a Batwa (pygmy) tribe, who gather the beads (seeds) near the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda.

The necklaces symbolize what happens when women are connected and equipped as a social network changing the lives of children in Africa. They can be worn in a single strand, looped, as a lariat, or as a layered bracelet.

$20/necklace (plus S&H)
Sales proceeds are shared between the Batwa and Mothering Across Continents.

Angels in the Dust

Of the millions of children who are orphans in Africa, only a small minority live in traditional orphanages. Through a collaboration with Dream Out Loud Films, we are one of the exclusive providers of the "Best in Fest" film Angels in the Dust. The film profiles Marion Cloete – who, with her family – left a privileged life to create an orphanage serving 500 children in South Africa.

$23/DVD (plus S&H)
$5 of each DVD sold through MAC will go to support our activities

Would you like to arrange a public showing of the film with a guest presentation from Mothering Across Continents? Call 704.607.0098 or email [email protected].
