Purchase with purpose

Something you can feel good about

When you shop at A Few Of My Favorite Things, you’re not just finding something beautiful, you can make a meaningful difference!!

We’re honored to support our friend David Ssejinja and his children’s foundation in Uganda that supports the women and children in his hometown.

Every purchase helps support the work of David Ssejinja and his children's foundation in Uganda, providing hope and opportunity to those who need it most.

Today, the foundation cares for more than 73 orphaned children and supports 15 widows in their community. Many of the handcrafted beaded necklaces and other artisan items are lovingly made by these widows, creating meaningful employment while helping them provide for their families.

Your purchase also helps fund life-changing initiatives, including:

Education for children and youth, helping prevent school dropouts

Clean water projects, including the construction of water wells

HIV/AIDS clinics and youth support programs

Ongoing care and resources for orphaned children and families

When you purchase one of these beautifully handcrafted items, you're doing more than buying a gift—you’re helping change lives.

100% of the proceeds from these items go directly toward supporting the foundation's mission in Uganda.

Come in, connect with a piece that calls to you, and bring home something filled with purpose, love, and impact you will feel good about
