Akola Karatasi Raffia Wrapped Paper Beads Set of 15 in Natural Color

Akola

Akola is on a mission to empower women to transform their lives and communities. Akola’s manufacturing operations are based in Jinja, Uganda – a beautiful city along the Nile River. There, nearly 200 Akola women, largely from rural communities, are given dignified employment and living wages. Akola’s vision is to create a female empowered workforce that will be a strong contributor to Africa’s economic development. In Uganda, the average person earns less than $1.90 per day. As part of her employment, an Akola woman receives living wages that enable her and her family to live above the poverty line. But job creation isn’t enough. Akola also provides a holistic curriculum of programs: training our employees in leadership and financial literacy, and giving them the skills that will graduate their entire family out of poverty and into long-term self-reliance.

What is the Jewel Safe™ Protection Plan

Jewel Safe™ Protection Plan is a 2 year protection plan for jewelry, loose gemstones, and watches sold at JTV® and on JTV.com. Customer service is available 8 a.m. EST to 11 p.m. EST Monday thru Friday for your convenience. The Protection Plan begins on the date of order shipment and covers most damage from normal wear and tear, moisture damage for watches and includes a ring re-sizing for rings. Customers will never pay any out-of-pocket expenses, including shipping. Jewel Safe™ can be transferred to any new owner of the piece of jewelry or watch; Jewel Safe™ sticks with the product, not the purchaser. If your jewelry or watch cannot be repaired, it will be replaced with a check for the full purchase price, plus applicable taxes paid.
