   Mali: Cloth Ornaments | Recycled Anti-Malaria Ornaments

new!Cloth Angels from Mali


Kente Angel from Mali, West Africa.

Kente Cloth Angel    $14.00
MALI-ANGEL-KENTE

This ornament is handmade in Mali from fabric that looks like Kente cloth - the cloth worn by Asante Kings in Ghana hundreds of years ago. Today it provides the inspiration for many fabrics throughout West Africa.

These angels are made by the women's association in Segou, Mali called "Sininyesigi" or "Plan the Future" that also crafts mud cloth stuffed animals. The fabric of each angel is a bit different, but all have bright red wings and each angel holds a small baby in front.

The angels are about 7" in height (baby 2.5") and have a 3" red loop on the back from which to hang the angel.

new!Recycled Can Christmas Decorations


Santa Claus and angels crafted by reusing anti-malaria insecticide cans in Mali, Africa.


Here are the famed "Recycled Anti-Malaria Angels and Santa" from Mali.

These great decorations got their name because they are typically made from discarded mosquito insecticide cans. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Africa bears the brunt of the world's malaria cases. It is home to 90% of the estimated 1-million deaths (3000 per day!) caused by the mosquito-borne disease each year.

Simple measures like insecticide, treated nets, and education about the disease could prevent the majority of these daily tragedies. In regions where UNICEF and its partners have concentrated special efforts, 76% of young children in Mali now sleep under insecticide-treated mosquito nets, thus reducing their exposure to malaria.


Anti-Malaria Angels    $20.00
MALI-ANGEL-CAN

Angels are about 5" high when standing, but they also have a hook to transform them into hanging Christmas tree ornaments. As you can see, designs and colors will vary.
