War in Laos
Between 1964 and 1973, against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, the Secret War was waged in neutral Laos. To contain the spread of communism, American B-52s dropped an average of one bomb-load every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years. 80 million failed to detonate.
Jewelry Made From Bombs
Made by melting and recasting the aluminum shrapnel into wood and ash molds. ARTICLE22 partners with the Mines Advisory Group in Laos so that with each piece of jewelry that is made, at least 3 square meters of bomb littered land is cleared. The jewelry turns negative to positive. A light in the darkness. Fair trade in action.
Laos has incredible biological diversity, many ethnic groups, and a thriving craft culture. In 1974, artisans in Xieng Khouang returned to their village to find exploded and unexploded bombs and a crashed jet plane. They began to melt the war scrap into spoons. In 2009, the ARTICLE22 team discovered the village and began to work with over a dozen artisan families to make Peacebomb jewelry. They earn at least 5 times the local hourly minimum wage. This allows them the income to provide education to their children, healthcare, books, and fuel; farming alone cannot sustain them.
Artisans are agents of change: their craft makes the land a safe place for children to play and for farmers to grow more palm trees, rice, fruit, vegetables, and flowers.
ARTICLE 22 also donates 10% on top of product orders to the Village Development Fund to benefit the entire community, from electricity in communal areas to micro-financing livestock investments. help support income generating activities and the creation of sustainable businesses so that the next generation can build upon the foundation set by their parents.
