Hand embroidery

Jeska Mammy created this scene of men returning from a fishing trip. At 9" x 7", this tapestry can be used to adorn a variety of decorative and useful items.

Jeska lives in Erussi – a small, beautiful, village close to the Congolese border in northwestern Uganda, nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains.  Being isolated with little means of travel except walking or an occasional bus, it is not unusual for the people to walk tens of kilometers each way to market in the nearest town.  

 Jeska will use the funds she receives for her needlework to provide education for her children; medical support; seeds or fertilizer for her crops; repairs for her home, or build a new one; and provide for any orphans for whom she cares as a result of the war, HIV AIDS or other illnesses.
