Collection of bracelets made by volunteers
Volunteers made the bracelets of the Center Narovinu in October 2021 for the 18th birthday of the Island of Hope Community Centre. They created a beautiful collection of bracelets, which are decorated with Kenyan wooden or bone beads. You can adjust the self-tightening knot according to the size of your hand (children's, women's, men's). With this collection, volunteers want to support the adulthood of the center, which includes a clinic, kindergarten, primary and secondary school, orphanage, farm, and support its further development. 100% of the earnings will therefore be returned to the project.

They were specifically made for you by the girls Aquiline, Ashly, Beryl, Eugine, Eunice, Evvy, Grace, Christine, Iddah, Jesca, Josiah, Katka, Molly, Sally, Sharone, Sheril, Trovencia, Vivian, Zdenka, and Zonica.
