We are planning a very intimate trip with a maximum of six people to travel to visit the projects of Paper Fig, including a fashion show at the Skills Training Center and a visit and staff meeting at the Paper Fig Health Center. Plus all the incredible cultural and natural experiences of Uganda - safari, dance and drumming, markets, boat rides and so much more. Interested? Email us and be part of the dream!
This stunning piece of jewelry was crafted by Annerose Muyombano, board member of the Paper Fig Foundation. The words “We Are All Connected” are engraved into the pendant, which rests delicately on your heart. The chain, large loops, can be wrapped multiple times to tailor your personal style.
The price is $250 for a sterling silver bracelet and $460 for a sterling silver necklace, including the pendant with a pink diamond and engraving. Fill out this form and we will reach out within 1-2 business days to prepare your order.
Our Entrepreneurship semester is underway! We are participating in three different programs to help women in Uganda put their skills to work for them. Entrepreneurship 2.0 is designed specifically for our Kasese team that completed an Entrepreneurship Training with Peace Through Business last year. Now they are working with Amanda Felly, a Kampala-based business leader, who is mentoring them on topics like marketing, technology, and more. If you would like to join as a mentor for this group, contact us. We are always looking for more connections and more wisdom to share!

We Are All Connected School Visit
Do you have a connection to a local school that you’d like to introduce to Paper Fig’s empowering programs in East Africa? It’s a great way to teach kids about a continent that is often misunderstood by Americans, and to emphasize the importance of building bridges across the globe.
Emily Weitz, Managing Director of the Paper Fig Foundation, orchestrates very special school visits where students can organize fundraisers and purchase special bracelets made by graduates of the PFF Skills Training Center. Read more about this amazing program here, and contact us to arrange a visit to your school!
The PFF Bazaar

We feature work from the Paper Fig Foundation tailors, as well as collaborators like Susan Barth Design, Salt & Soul NYC, Annerose Muyombano, and more.
