About Us
White Nile is a company with a conscience. Not only does it sell beautiful jewellery, but in doing so makes a difference to people’s lives, gives opportunity to the poorest of the poor, and ploughs its profits back into families and communities in Africa. The beads are made by ladies at Caring Hands in Kampala, Uganda. Everything is ethical, recycled and fairly traded.
White Nile is based in Lincoln where for the past three years we have been selling the beads through local groups, family and friends. The response has been overwhelming and with the encouragement we have received we decided to launch our website.
We named the company White Nile after the stretch of the Nile which flows out of Uganda.
