We are so excited about our partnership with the Akola Project. One of the reasons why we decided to open Necessories was for the opportunity to give back and help those in need, and partnering with Akola helps us to just that.
Akola jewelry is designed to empower women in disadvantaged communities throughout the globe. Akola - “she works” in Lusoga - is a full impact brand that trains and employs women in poverty so they can meet the basic needs of their children.
At Akola, design can define a life. For every necklace that is purchased, Akola designs a new story for a woman and a family. To date, Akola has empowered over 500 women who have transformed the lives of 4,000 children.
In April 2017, the Akola jewelry collection will be available at Necessories. We will be adding to the collection throughout the year, so check back often.
