Tanda Zulu sells Zulu Beadwork Project jewelry in the United States, giving 92% of the profits to orphan projects in South Africa.

Many orphans live in child-headed households headed by children as young as 12. This often causes the eldest sibling to drop out of school. The Holy Cross Preschool allows older siblings to stay in school by caring for the young children during the school day. Preschoolers also get 3 meals a day, counseling, education, and a chance to play. Tanda Zulu jewelry sales support feeding and education at the preschool.

In rural KwaZulu-Natal, Tanda has launched an after-school program for 400 high school students. The program promotes empowerment and entrepreneurship through skills development and novel activities. The students are fed, recieve help with their studies and participate in activities such as computer lessons, art classes, soccer, basketball, and netball. You can read more about it on the Thanda After-School Project website.

Proceeds from the jewelry are donated through Tanda, the non-profit branch of Tanda Zulu.
