How We Give Back
As a 23 year old in 2014, The Gemstudio’s founder Matt James co-founded an orphanage in Uganda with a local Ugandan woman named Carolyn Bisikwa. Matt then spent every summer in Uganda for the next 3 years, working to grow the orphanage, as well as work on many other community development projects. This humble orphanage that only consisted of a small tin structure and a number of mud walled classrooms has now grown into a full primary school, providing a home and education to 60 orphans. He also teaches young girls in Nepal who have been rescued from sexual violence how to silversmith. We sell their creations here, donating 100% of the proceeds back to them.
