Our Story

The Emerge Beads-to-Business Program enables Sri Lankan girls, ages 10-18, who

are survivors of abuse to become jewelry designers through a comprehensive

curriculum that emphasizes personal discovery, leadership, and business

knowledge, while simultaneously generating savings for their futures. Design and

entrepreneurship are combined to develop confidence, teach life skills, and

strengthen the community’s capacity to effect change. We hope to one day be able

to work with young women and girls around the world who have survived abuse to

rediscover and celebrate their personal beauty, develop their self-sufficiency, and

become leaders within their own communities.

The jewelry created, each piece unique, is sold in the United States, Sri Lanka and

online with 50% of the selling price going back to the girls’ individual savings

accounts so that when they turn 18 they have money to take care of themselves and,

in some cases, their children. The remaining 50% covers the cost of materials and

product distribution, so that Emerge Global can support the healing of more

survivors.
