Bracelets with a cause
Central Out reach sold Rafiki bracelets for the We Day Foundation
Central Outreach sold Rafiki bracelets, which are long, beaded bracelets made by women in Africa. Each bracelet is patterned a different way and each specially designed bracelet represents different categories that all stand for different subjects in society such as education, water, food, health, or opportunity. The proceeds go to those specific categories in third world countries depending on which bracelet was purchased. Senior Nicole Webb knows what impact these bracelets have and how they raise awareness.
“We just wanted people to know about these bracelets and what they can do because you can actually ‘Track your impact’ and see where and what your money is going to. It raises more awareness for these topics and brings awareness to the help these third-world countries need,” said Webb.
FHC collected the money for these bracelets and sent it to the We Day Foundation. From there, the money was used to buy supplies for these villages the bracelets were made in.
