About Fifi Bijoux
Ethical gold comes from carefully selected community mines which adhere to fair trade policies. Gold is mined without mercury or cyanide. Profits from gem mining are reinvested back into the community to fund future projects, such as organic farming.
Fifi Bijoux Luxury Ethical Jewellery is committed to making a positive contribution to the people who mine gold, ethical diamonds and precious ethical gemstones.
Precious minerals are a valuable natural resource.
Fifi Bijoux Luxury Ethical Jewellery respects the exquisite nature of these rare materials.
Since 2007 Fifi Bijoux has supported the Entebbe Women’s Association Child Sponsorship programme in Uganda. 10% of profits from our ‘Little Acorn’ pendant is donated to EWA and funds the care and education of children who have been orphaned, living in and around mining communities.
Fifi Bijoux had such a great response to the From Little Acorns pendant (featured in Marie Claire and Easy Living magazines) that our customers and retailers asked how else they could help the children in Entebbe who we sponsor, and those like them.
In 2009, with the support of Glasgow the Caring City, World Emergency Relief and Marie Claire readers, Fifi Bijoux sent shoe boxes filed with school equiment to the children and families in Uganda.
Colin Firth, and his very lovely wife Livia (founders of Eco Age, see stockist list for details) also contributed to our appeal, along with many other of our stockists and customers.
A few words from Margaret Tuhumwire Director Entebbe Women’s Association Child Sponsorship (partners of Fifi Bijoux ‘From Little Acorns’)
“I visited the children and they all sent their warm regards to you. They were so excited about the shoes and gift boxes which had t’shirts, pens etc. We have so far given out about 25 gift boxes and pairs of shoes. Children are soooo excited. The shoes, we are still distributing to poor people and children. The soap!!! we gave about 600 school children and many homes. We are still distributing. I will finally share with you the distribution list.
WE JUST CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. PLEASE EXTEND OUT VERY SINCERE GRATITUDE TO ALL THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTED AND THOSE WHO TRANSPORTED
I wish you could see the beaming faces of little boys who found toy cars in the parcels!! The girls too, had lots of goodies in their boxes and were so happy.
ON BEHALF OF THE ORPHANED CHILDREN OF RUKUNGIRI, and KANUNGU IN WESTERN UGANDA; AND KIGUNGU IN ENTEBBE, AND ON BEHALF OF GRANDMOTHERS AND OTHER GUARDIANS OF THESE CHILDREN, WE THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND GENEROSITY OF SHARING THE SHOES, THE PENS, PENCILS, BOOKS PAPERS, AND MANY BEAUTIFUL THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SHARED WITH VERY MANY FAMILIES IN NEED. WE THANK YOU FOR THE SOAP THAT HAS REACHED HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES AND SCHOOLS. WE THANK YOU MOST SINCERELY,”
