Project Bead

Project Bead operates as a social enterprise that uses 100% of profits to fund education for students in Ghana. hese profits are generated through retailing and wholesaling beaded products made by Ghanaian entrepreneurs. At Project Bead Foundation, we believe every child deserves to dream, dream big, and follow those dreams.
