Maya Universe Academy is a school in rural Nepal where the parents give time instead of money in exchange for their children’s education. This innovative funding method allow parents to work at the school for two days every month instead of paying money. During these days, parents work to produce agricultural and handicraft products. One of these are these beautiful bracelets that are made with real gemstones hand carved by them.

Each bracelets cost €16, and they come with a colourful postcard depicting the children themselves.
There are many opportunities for volunteers at Maya Universe Academy. The school provides food and accommodation to volunteers who commit themselves for at least 5 months. Short term volunteers and guests and charged only 10USD per day for their stay. It is a once in a lifetime experience and we encourage all those who can to try it.
Some volunteers have had this wonderful idea of taking professional photos of the bracelets and create a website so that they can increase the exposure.
