Hope Bracelets are designed and put together by students in Project Mercy's skill training program in Yetebon, Ethiopia and artisans in the United States who donate some of their work. All of the heart beads as well as a growing number of the other beads used for the Hope Bracelets are made by the students. Proceeds from this program have already paid for a dorm building to house vulnerable children that Project Mercy cares for and will continue to fund this and similar projects.
