Do you know about the origins of rubber? These earrings are recycled from used bicycle inner tubes. Rubber was the first resource exploited in Congo during the Victorian era and it has been exploited and robbed ever since. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is potentially one of the richest countries in the world and yet it ranks as the poorest based on its GDP per capita from 2009-2013 average earnings are USD 394.25 a year!

If you buy a pair of these earrings the profit will go directly to a number of projects in Goma in Eastern DRC. These include building Hope School for 250 orphans and children conceived from rape and a tailoring school plus micro-finance projects to empower as well as heal traumatised and stigmatised women.
