The Lesedi Project

This program was developed to give back to the South African culture and community on which the Balega sock company relies. Beadwork is a traditional Zulu craft and is a skill that is taught to the children of Ethembeni school in Africa. Fleet Feet Inc. has commissioned the school to make a series of beadwork items that are being offered for sale through participating Fleet Feet Sports stores, including Fleet Feet Elmhurst. All profits generated by the sale of beadwork pieces are returned directly to the school and go towards the costs of boarding and education.Please support the Lesedi Bead Project by buying and wearing the necklaces and bracelets made by the children of Ethembeni.
