Jaliya’s Beads

Lately we have been talking a lot about beads & showing some pictures of the process ROWAN uses for making them. Now that we know a bit about how they are made, lets meet some of the amazing individuals that make them. Each one of them has (sometimes a sad) story to tell. Today, meet Jaliya, she is from the village of Busambira.

Flashback to Jaliya of 2011

Jaliya is a widow who has one son, her bead making income is primarily to pay for his education. Jaliya’s favorite food is rice & her hero is Jesus. She enjoys spending her time making necklaces, tailoring clothing & working in the clinic to help others.

For over a decade, ROWAN (through your donations) has helped a lot of deserving people like Jaliya live a higher quality of life. Enabling them to grow personally, spiritually & financially. Thanks so much to everyone who has helped to make all of the ROWAN projects possible!
