MonkeyBiz Beaded Dolls

Remember these colorful and very whimsical works of art when thinking about African home decor that makes a difference in the lives of people in need; these beaded girlies are all one-of-a-kind and are helping women in Cape Town loosen the grip of HIV/AIDS on their community.

 

MonkeyBiz distributes free beads to program participants, then pays beaders per piece for completed creations. The funds generated from the sale of MonkeyBiz dolls after paying beaders funds programs helping Cape Town citizens with HIV/AIDS live a more comfortable and fulfilling life.

 

MonkeyBiz presents an income source that allows women to work from home without incurring travel and childcare expenses, and it also extols a craft form embraced by the Xhosa, Ndebele, Zulu and Sotho peoples from which program participants descend. A beautiful and inspiring program
