Oliva Aliba embroidered the image of fish swimming in a group that decorates this sturdy 16" x 14" denim cross-body tote. The tote has a large front pocket, an interior zip pocket, a shoulder strap, and light blue cotton lining. The back replicates a denim jacket, with two functional button pockets. The proportions of this tote are suitable for a laptop, for hands-free shopping, and for many other uses.

Oliva lives in Uganda, in the district of Bunyoro-Kitara, northwest of Kampala. Oliva’s life revolves around caring for her family and her crops. She will use the funds she receives from her needlework to provide education for her children; medical support for herself and her family; seeds or fertilizer for her crops; repairs to her home, or even begin to build a new one.

Oliva meets weekly with her fellow needleworkers. The community they have developed through Threads of Blessing encourages each of them and has significantly raised their self-esteem.
