Bracelets Made From ‘Secret War’ Bombs

peacebomb_braceletarticle.jpgAll sorts of amazing products give back, but the peaceBOMB bracelet is in a category of its own.

Crafted by local artisans in Laos — the world’s most-bombarded country — these beautiful bracelets are made out of bomb materials and scrap metal from America’s secret war in Laos, which was waged alongside the conflict in Vietnam.

A product of the peaceBOMB Project, each purchase supports the artisan families in Naphia Village, where the bracelets are made.

Your purchase also includes a donation to the locally-run Village Development Fund, which provides loans to poor families.

Watch a video about the artisans and the making of the peaceBOMB bracelet at Take Part.
