You hold something beautiful. It may be a strength you have yet to discover. The grace to handle life’s ups and downs. Or a glow that radiates from within. The Unlock-it bracelet by Akola was inspired by the Ugandan women who handcraft it. Their stories are the heart of Akola—and woven into every bracelet.

It will be there whenever you need it. Will you unlock it?

FOUNDER
Brittany Underwood
Every journey requires faith and a first step. In my case, it started with a woman. It was 2004 and I was a spoiled, selfish, 19 year old college student looking forward to a summer adventure. Two weeks into a trip I met a Ugandan woman named Sarah. Sarah lived her life with great meaning and purpose and sacrificed everything she had to care for 24 children who slept on her floor. I knew that there were poor children in the world. But for the first time, I SAW them. I saw their mats, distended stomachs, and their sores. I wanted to help. I moved to Uganda after graduating from SMU in 2006 and came to love Ugandan mothers like Sarah, who were desperately trying to care for their children. I realized that meaningful job creation is critical and started Akola, "She Works", in 2007 with 15 women making jewelry under a tree. Today, Akola has blossomed into a thriving purpose-driven jewelry brand and manufacturing business that creates beautiful designs that build up the lives and livelihoods of 200 women living in poverty.
Each Akola piece is handcrafted with the beauty and spirit of each Akola woman who makes it. It represents a story, a life, a family, hope and dignity. A product that heals, a product that restores. Beads hand knotted with pride. A first job. A first step. A new life. Akola is a brand that creates striking designs that champion women around the world. Akola provides dignified employment that is empowering women in extreme poverty. Each piece of jewelry is handcrafted by nearly 200 Akola women employed in Uganda. As part of their employment, they are given holistic support and training to help break the cycle of poverty.
