The Golden Beads is committed to the development of Montessori education in both the slums and the bush of East Africa (as pictured above) by financially supporting the programs of Break The Cycle Global (BTCG).

BTCG, a 501(c)3, is an organization that uses a holistic approach to build strong relationships and trust- creating self sustaining, Christ-centered communities in East Africa where its citizens move from surviving to THRIVING! Learn more about BTCG HERE

Currently, The Golden Beads participates in the BTCG $1 a day club program which provides VERY needy children (many orphans) with food, clothing, Montessori education and medical assistance. (That's pretty spectacular for just $1 a day for 24 months!!) But in 2020 The Golden Beads is called to do more, and you can come alongside us to be part of the story!

A portion of EVERY purchase of our handcrafted gifts will go directly towards:

• Montessori teacher training and development. As of January 2020, donations are being directed to fund teacher certification for Ms. Steria who will guide students in a remote Samburu village. (See above for pictures of her!)

​

• furnishing classroom materials and supplies. The Golden Beads has already been able to purchase and donate some Montessori materials which are being delivered in March...in someone's suitcase! (See pic of materials going to Mathare above!)​
