GET A BEAD ON POVERTY
Purchase a beautiful piece of Kazuri Bead jewelry through July 27 at one of Brighton Collectibles stores in OC, and a portion of proceeds will support families and provide clean water and basic sanitation to impoverished communities in Kenya.
This is a sale you shouldn't let pass by.
Brighton's team of in-house designers make limited edition necklaces, bracelets and earrings from the handmade beads by women in Kenya.
Purchases of the Kazuri Jewelry Collection will help improve the lives of women and their families in Kenya.
Kazuri employs more than 250 local, disadvantaged women, offering them fair wages in an area of high unemployment. And a portion of the proceeds will also go to organizations that provide clean water and basic sanitation to impoverished communities in Kenya.
Brighton is also partnering with nonprofit organizations to build freshwater wells for 10 hospitals in Kenyan villages where they are most needed.
"charity:water" is one of the extraordinary non-profits. In just under two years since its inception, charity:water has funded more than 600 projects, building wells, rainwater catchments and bio sand filters in 11 nations. Those projects will help more than 250,000 people gain access to clean drinking water.
To raise awareness and funds for this important cause, all Brighton Collectibles stores will sell water bottles for $20 and water awareness wristbands for $5. All proceeds for the sale go to support charity:water's efforts to build freshwater wells in Kenyan villages where they are most needed. A $20 donation can provide one person with access to clean water for 20 years.
