Mary Padian Instagram – I teamed up my fav non-profit @ubuntu.life showcasing a line of simple, yet bold bracelets handmade by the Maasai “mums” in maai mahiu, Kenya. As a non-profit business, Ubuntu offers their Mums meaningful jobs with above-market wages and benefits, while generating revenue that supports their special needs center. @amalwilemon is the Head of development @ubuntu.life as well as one of my bff’s. So we decided to call these cool, sequined cuff’s: “Joy Bracelet’s”, celebrating the joy of friendship and the joy of giving back. Ubuntu is an African philosophy that means ” I am, because we are.” It describes the interconnectedness among all things, like friendship. There’s an understanding that the binding together of people in friendship helps each of us define and realize a meaningful life. @zane.wilemon founder of Ubuntu, said “We all depend on every other being on this planet in ways large and small. To reach our full potential, both individually and as a society, we must help others reach theirs: I am because we are.” Head to marysfinds.com and purchase a Joy Bracelet for your friend and for a good cause. @marys_finds #marysfinds #ubuntu #non-profit #maasai #mums #friendship #iamweare
