With her income from her bead making business, Margret only hopes that she will be able to send her children to university in the near future.

Margret must care for her grandchildren, her sister's children and her eight children entirely alone, as her husband abandoned her 20 years ago. She retired from farming and started earning a living by both making and selling beads when her husband left, hoping she would be able to support her family. Yet still her children must also work as bead makers in order to help pay for their own education. Margret then explains that Global Mamas is one of her most reliable customers and thoroughly appreciates their orders, which she says has helped increase her income by 30%. In her two decades of experience as a bead maker, Margret most enjoys crafting the large locket beads, brightly colored, striped round beads, which are certainly very popular with Global Mamas!
