Creative ways to support causes in Africa

Here are some neat opportunities to give that seem especially catchy as the holiday season approaches. It's always cool when you can buy a gift and support worthy causes.
This first one is called Bead for Life. From their website: BeadforLife is working to eradicate poverty in Uganda, and to educate North Americans to participate in fighting extreme poverty worldwide.Through their website you can purchase beaded jewelry made by Ugandan women. You can even host a bead party for a group of friends and over 75% of the proceeds goes towards enhancing the qualty of life in Ugandan villages. Read more about their inspiring work in Uganda.

They are super stylish *plus* over half the money paid for each shirt go towards a non-profit of your choice that works in Africa. You can choose between: Invisible Children, Blood:Water Mission and Genocide Intervention Network.
