If you don’t live in Dallas but would like to support this wonderful cause, get a gorgeous Malachite bracelet with rough cut diamond here.
Founded in 2007, The Diamond Empowerment Fund™ (D.E.F.) is a non-profit international organization with the mission to raise money to support education initiatives that develop and empower economically disadvantaged people in African nations where diamonds are a natural resource. Established by individuals and businesses in the diamond and jewelry industries and others who are committed to the empowerment of Africa, we believe education is one of the most critical elements that powers society and empowers individuals to realize their full human potential. D.E.F. endeavors to partner with African education organizations that have a proven methodology for helping young people achieve success through self-determination, focus, and opportunity.

You know…if Caucasians made something like this there would be riots and protestations.
Why do people have to be haters? I don’t think anyone would have a problem with Caucasians having an organization to benefit their motherland. Why not start an Americans for England? haha
