Survivor-Made Jewelry Available At The Somaly Mam Empowerment Store

One of the funnest ways to donate to the Somaly Mam Foundation is by purchasing jewelry made by survivors at the Somaly Mam Empowerment Store. Somaly Mam has rescued these girls from brothels and taught them skills to help them become independent and provide for themselves. I think it's fantastic that Somaly Mam offers these beautiful bracelets online at the Empowerment Store. When you buy a survivor-made necklace or bracelet, your money goes directly to the Somaly Mam Foundation.

In Cambodia, many families are extremely poor so they sell their female children to brothels to support the family. It's a barbaric tradition and Somaly Mam is working hard to teach the young girls in her shelter healthy ways to earn money to support themselves and their families someday. What better way to support a survivor than by giving her money for something beautiful she created with her own hands! When you buy one of these beautiful necklaces or bracelets you're not only donating to a very important cause, you're also giving a young girl confidence in her own talents and skills.

I have made a New Years resolution to start donating $50 a month to the Somaly Mam Foundation. Next month, instead of donating through my Online Fundraiser, I plan to spend that money on jewelry at the Somaly Mam Empowerment Store. I can't wait to get my own beautiful silk necklace. I'll wear it with pride!
