World Wins International is a nonprofit 501(c)3 Christian based organization started in 2003 by Chad and Amy Houck of Boise, ID. Our primary purpose is to facilitate, fund raise, and plan development work in the areas of water, food, shelter, and education in lesser developed countries, with a special emphasis on Africa.

We are currently engaged in the continued development and expansion of a Christian school in Somanya, Ghana, West Africa.

The Krobo beads you see in our store are all hand made by the Krobo people of this region, are acquired through fair trade practices directly from the artisans themselves, and provide a living income for the artisans that produce them and string them into the necklaces and bracelets in this shop. They are made in an age old process that is handed down through generations, and are eco-friendly as they utilize 100% recycled glass from beer bottles, wine bottles, windshields, and cold creme containers, keeping these goods out of the landfills.

We have pledged to return 100% of the revenue generated by the sale of these pieces to the Somanya area to fund the drilling of wells, the moulding of blocks for schools and buildings, and the development of sanitation services like bathrooms and showers.

Your purchases are making a difference to the 200+ children of the Revival Harvest Academy, and to the villagers of Somanya, Ghana. We thank you for your support, and welcome you to visit our website at http://www.WorldWins.org for more information!
