Bits of Uganda

31 Bits is a company that really makes me smile. Having spent time in Uganda myself, I'm especially drawn to their product and their purpose.
With every 31 Bits purchase, you are empowering women in Uganda to rise above poverty. I love this! You're not donating money or materials (not that those aren't great too!), you're helping these ladies learn about business, values, confidence, and more tools to succeed in life. Learn more about the 31 Bits mission HERE and watch this video:



And check out some of their many designs completely handmade in Uganda:





They even have a BRIDAL line!




Cute right?! If you haven't already fallen in love, read this:

Listed as values of 31 Bits: "Love, because love stems from Christ and is a catalyst for positive change. Equality, because equality promotes dignity, respect, and self-worth for all people. Hope, because hope is the belief that something good can and will happen. Honesty, because honesty demonstrates integrity and ensures trust and transparency with all participants. Quality, because a quality product is created with the utmost excellence. Growth, because growth allows us to dream of what the future could look like; and as a result, continuously be implementing new and innovative ways to improve the quality of the organization and of the lives of participants." 

I am so grateful that I came across this business (thanks to Amy Cornwell!) and I can't wait to get my bits in the mail! :)
