These rustic journals are made with great skill. The paper is 100% handmade using traditional methods that have been passed down from generations in Uganda. The leather is cow-hide that has been naturally tanned and minimally processed, giving it a very soft and natural feel. To top it off, the wrap around is complete with an antique Ugandan coin as the closure. The journal comes in four colors: Slate, Cream, Brown and Taupe. Brown is the darkest brown and cream is the lightest color pictured.
The Akiru Project is a small business initiative that offers meaningful employment for vulnerable, impoverished women of Karamoja, Uganda. By providing these women with marketable skills and a living wage, Akiru gives them the hope of a hunger free future. Akiru means rain, which promises provisions for the future and produces hope for sustained life.
