Give Back: Featuring Wendy Reyes

FXB Global Partner Wendy Stapleton Reyes and her Colombrilla jewelry designs have been featured in the article “Give Back!” in Lucky magazine. The Colombrilla campaign, spearheaded by Reyes, raises funds for FXB’s programs in Colombia, which help children and families escape poverty permanently.

100% of net proceeds from the sale of Reyes’ Colombrilla jewelry will go towards the FXB Colombrilla campaign, allowing FXB to help provide 80 families living in the slums of Barranquilla with a comprehensive package of support to help empower them to rise and remain above the poverty line.  These services include: educational support for children including school fees, uniforms, and materials; emergency food support; access to health care, HIV testing, and treatment; water and sanitation improvements; psychosocial support; small grant to begin a sustainable microenterprise.

*Note: The last paragraph of the article should read: “If you buy the emerald earrings, the net proceeds can allow seven children to go to school or allow seven young adults to receive vocational training.  And if you pick up the gold hummingbird necklace, your donation could help five HIV-positive mothers receive formula for their children…”
