Pretty Powerful: Same Sky Bracelets Made By Rwandan Women

Pretty baubles are a dime a dozen but Same Sky bracelets have the power to change lives. A fair-trade organization that employs HIV+ women in Rwanda that survived the 1994 genocide, Same Sky's mission is to lift women out of poverty by providing them with the tools to become entrepreneurs. In fact, Same Sky artisans earn a wage that is 10 times the average of other women in Sub-Saharan Africa. Pretty powerful.

Made of handblown glass beads and crocheted by women artisans, each Same Sky bracelet carries the signature of the woman who made it.  Celebs like Halle Berry, Meryl Streep, Donna Karan and Queen Latifah all wear their Same Sky bracelets with pride.
