About Authentic African Beads & Things
Our Story
At Authentic African Beads & Things, our journey began in 2020 with a simple Facebook page and a big mission—to support smaller schools of Ghana, West Africa. What started as a heartfelt effort from across the globe has grown into a thriving online store dedicated to providing handmade, high-quality products while continuing to uplift communities across Africa.
We’re proud of how far we've come, and we're even more excited about where we're headed. If you’d like to support our current cause and make a difference, please email maritta@authenticafricanbeadsandthings.com. Your generosity means the world to us—thank you!
