Hello

My name is Hlonie  I am a jeweller based in South Africa, I run a small business named Nolo M Jewellery Designs which manufactures and designs commercial and contemporary jewellery. Manufacturing jewellery is my biggest passion and I consider it my calling, it gives me great joy when I can create a piece that an individual can cherish.

When it comes to the manufacturing process, I mainly work with sterling silver. So, I source the silver in form of granules as shown below, melt and assemble the metal into a wearable piece of jewellery that a person can be proud to wear. It is a rewarding experience to create something beautiful out of a raw material.  

The money raised will go towards purchasing equipment for production purposes, settle start-up costs such as marketing and transport and it will go a long way towards supporting the small business. The funds raised will also be a steppingstone towards providing reusable sanitary pads for girls in my community, it is a sad fact that some girls miss school, when on their periods because they cannot afford to purchase sanitary pads on a monthly basis. Providing this basic need will have a positive outcome to ensure the girls don't have to miss school.  

Any amount that will get me closer to my $5000 goal will be highly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance.

Hlonie
