Bracelets and Necklaces

These are the bracelets and necklaces I have been SO excited to share with everyone. There is a foundation called Network Against Malaria. They raise funds for insecticide treated mosquito nets in Uganda to help prevent malaria. The striped beads are made by Ugandan women and sent to the foundation here in the United States where the necklaces and bracelets are beaded. Then the profits go to Uganda for the mosquito nets. They recently sent $6,000 for nets which saved almost 2,000 lives!


















We are selling them to also help raise money for the Promise Walk. The bracelets are $10 and the necklaces are $15. ALL profits are a donation to Network Against Malaria and the Promise Walk-both non-profit organizations. Each necklace and bracelet is unique. The pictures shown are just a few that I have. Let me know if you're interested in buying one and if there is a certain color you want and I can send some pictures of what I have. If you live near me and would like to see them, you can contact me at kimwyman81@gmail.com. I am thrilled to be able to offer this one of a kind jewelry to help raise money for 2 organizations!

Promise and Support

I am so amazed at the amount of support I have received for the Promise Walk this year! Our team has raised over $700 in donations already! I am so thankful to have such supportive friends, family, and even strangers. This walk means a lot to me and I often get tearful when I think about it. I am very excited to walk in the first Promise Walk in St. Louis and to be part of the planning of the walk with some very lovely girls. If you would like to join our team (Team Wyman) or donate, click here. Thank you to everyone who has offered support in any way through our journey. It means the world to me!
