dbo:abstract	Paper to Pearls is a micro-enterprise initiative of Voices for Global Change, a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Alexandria, Virginia. Paper to Pearls works with women in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps in northern Uganda. The women create jewelry by hand-rolling beads from recycled paper, and Paper to Pearls markets and sells the jewelry principally in the United States, but also, via retailers and its website, in countries throughout the world. Because of Voices' non-profit status, between 75%-85% of the sale proceeds directly benefit the women, both as income as well as ongoing training programs. The income allows the women to purchase food, medicine and schooling for their children. Training programs cover beading skills, entrepreneurship development, and savings and cash management training. (en)
