The Jinja Jewelry Project is a non-profit organization in Uganda, Africa with volunteers in the USA and Africa. Each piece of our Jewelry is hand crafted with love and hope!

We are honored to bring you some of the most amazing jewelry. The Jinja Jewelry is all made from recycled materials found in Uganda. These beautiful items are made from recycled paper, cow horn, banana fibers, local stones, seeds, and wood.

The people of Jinja, Uganda in Africa live in extreme poverty and hardship.  Through the organization’s assistance, the people have begun to find a way to transition from adversity by making beautiful items.  We are so proud to be able to assist them by providing a market to sell the jewelry and giving them hope. The proceeds are returned to the Ugandan families for food, education, housing, and medical care.

In addition, by buying Jinja Jewelry, you are providing an alternative income to residents of Uganda, Africa, instead of “animal trade” profits.

Note - each necklace is unique.  This picture shows a sample of the necklaces available.  If you have a color preference, please indicate as such in the "Message" section of check out and we will do our best to meet your request.
