Are you looking for a way to raise funds for camp this summer?
My name is Raychel McKinney and I work with a social enterprise born out of the Young Life Africa Committee called Karama Collection.
Karama, an Arabic word meaning dignity, has a mission to alleviate poverty by restoring dignity through purposeful work for artisans, beginning in Africa. We focus on working with artisans in East Africa and Haiti and donate our proceeds to Young Life campership.
Campership Cuff Program
- You purchase brass, hammered cuffs in sets of 50 to 100.
- For every cuff you sell at the $20 price, you make $10 for your area!
- Every 50 cuffs you sell allows us to donate and send 1 kid to camp in Africa!
Since 2006, Karama has partnered with Young Life Africa by donating a portion of our proceeds to send more kids to Young Life camp and work alongside artisan-led businesses in order for them to provide for their families.
When you purchase from Karama, you are taking part in what we call our Swirl of Good. This Swirl provides a visual for the impact that Karama provides. These impacts include our artisans who handcraft each product, sending more kids to Young Life Africa camps, Karama staff stateside and in-country, as well as our team of volunteers we like to call our Karama Mamas.
I have grown up inside of Young Life and it has been this organization that Jesus has used to break generational cycles off of my own life which is why I can’t help but testify and share of the fruit this Campership Cuff Program has had on the lives of young people.
I’m looking forward to partnering with you in support of your Young Life area, our artisans, and Young Life Africa!
Will you partner with me in paving the way for more young people to hear about how they are fully loved and fully known?
