Werkstatt für Schmuckherstellung

I had the opportunity to go on a trip specifically to visit these incredible women and mine and my daughter's life was changed forever. They were so warm and inviting, and willing to invite us into their homes. We loved every second. You'll love making jewelry with then or even just getting to know them.

Visiting Amaani Co. is life-changing. It was such a privilege to visit their workshop and have opportunity to step into their world and actually work side by side with these beautiful Ugandan artisans, to learn from them, to share ideas and experiences (about parenting, balancing work and family, and so much more) together. We laughed. We cried. We danced. We shared. These Ugandan women are resilient, real, hopeful, honest, hard-working, and impassioned about building a better world. They are dedicated to their craft and so willing to patiently share how they create the jewelry and let you take part! They open their hearts and their workshop to their guests, and they have inspired me in so many ways. I left Africa and my time with them forever changed. I'm a better mother, a better friend, and a better human having met them and been able to learn from them. Knowing them and having met them has changed my perspective on so many levels. One of my goals is to one day return with my daughters to visit my Ugandan "sisters." If you are looking for an experience that will open your heart and your mind to the humanity and beauty of what it means to be resilient and to cultivate a network of truly a supportive and collaborative tribe of women -- take opportunity to visit Amaani.

I can't help but smile when I think about working alongside the women of the Ammani Co. They are such an amazing group of women who take pride in their work, are shaping their community, and bring light to the world as they sing, dance, and laugh their way through their lives. You will not want to miss the chance to make beautiful jewelry and connect with these inspiring women while you're in Uganda.
