ReliefBeads.Org - Relief Beads for Darfur

The United Nations has recognized the situation in Darfur as "the world's worst humanitarian crisis." Since the conflict began in 2003, millions of people have been forced to leave their homes. Relief Beads is a grassroots-campaign selling handmade African bracelets to raise awareness and money for Relief International's humanitarian efforts to help malnourished children in Darfur. Every year Relief International, a non-profit organization, supports tens of thousands of refugees in Darfur and donates millions of dollars to crises worldwide. Relief International's humanitarian programs are essential for Darfur: they provide life-saving therapeutic care for thousands of malnourished children, administer medical care at many clinics, educate young students and the community, and support the only Women's Development Center in Darfur.

We truly need your help to sell 250,000 Relief Beads bracelets! Each and every Relief Beads provides a significant contribution. Your support especially combats rampant child malnutrition in Darfur. Nearly one out of two children under 5 years old is underweight. You many not always have the opportunity to change things in our world that need to be changed, but this is your opportunity to provide relief to a situation that truly needs your help.

Join the movement and help us build a Children's Malnutrition Center! We'd like to give a special thanks to the thousands of people across the country who have already supported Relief Beads. We are getting a lot closer to selling 250,000 Relief Beads!.
