YOU can bring hope.

See a family empowered and a village transformed.

Loveworks has been sharing the story of the Batwa people in Burundi with you for some time now, and we are excited to be sharing with you today a NEW chapter in this story.

Passed down generation to generation, is the tradition of handmade pottery crafted by the women in the village of Busiga. This beautiful tradition remains a unique aspect of the Batwa culture, however ahas become obsolete as a source of income. You can change that.

Your purchase of a pot not only offers a source of income and the opportunity for a family to be empowered while allowing for the purchase of small animals, it brings hope to this community.

To hear the story of Batwa pottery and how you can bring hope to this community through your purchase, please watch the video below:

There are 150 small pots, each $25, available for pre-order.

To place your pre-order, head to the project Facebook page where a Loveworks store has been launched. The anticipated shipping date for all orders is 15 December 2012, and we are unfortunately unable to guarantee delivery by Christmas.
