AWIMA Jewellery Design Competition
Donation protected
AWIMA Jewellery Design Competition is a first of its kind, high profile initiative to identify, celebrate and support African female jewellers. The Competition is a celebration of the courage, unity and resilience of African women in mining. In the jewellery industry: women own mines, work in mines, supply goods to mines, act as traders and buyers, gem cutters, jewellery designers, and jewellery makers – they do this against a challenging backdrop of health and safety concerns, patriarchal cultural norms, prohibitive legal systems and inaccessible markets but yet…women boldly succeed!
Your donation will go towards
1. Prizes - buying the metals, stones and production to make the design! Metals, gemstones and services will be procured from women miners, traders
2. Marketing - creating hype and overwhelming interest in the competition, the winners and the AWIMA Brooch.
