THE GREATER WATERBERG LANDSCAPE COLLECTION

GW-04: Beaded Cheetah Face Necklace

Beaded Necklaces are handmade by the artisans of the Greater Waterberg Landscape.

• One of CCF’s employees, Agnes, hand makes each of these pieces. She also teaches rural community members (e.g. Hereroland) how to make crafts. The colourful beads are made from upcycled magazines, not only do they make beautiful beads for jewelry, they also help the environment by finding another use for the magazines that would otherwise be thrown away.

The purchase of craft products supports Cheetah Conservation Fund’s (CCF) community based initiative to help improve livelihoods in rural communities, while supporting CCF’s ongoing research,education, and conservation programmes in Namibia. CCF jewelryproducts are sourced and created by various Namibian and South African women, inspired by and crafted from rich traditional and cultural practices, made from naturally found materials.
