Finally, we are happy to announce that the ENOUGH project is officially underway. We will be breaking ground in May and are starting to deliver the resources necessary to give these kids and their community a new start on life. Over the past year the word has spread in Africa about the ENOUGH project and in that time the 150 ex child soldiers that were waiting on us has now grown to over 500. We will be working in a small village in the Konor region of Sierra Leone. Our goal is to provide this community with all the tools, skills and resources necessary to turn a toxic, abandoned, diamond mine into a thriving rice field, giving these kids and their community a sustainable source of food and money.

Working with Liberian native and globally recognized humanitarian Kimmie Weeks, and his foundation “Youth Action International”, we will over see this project from start to finish, including visiting the community ourselves to witness the rebuild first hand.

MiaDonna and The Greener Diamond where created to educate consumers about the decisions they make, to return and assist damaged communities and to offer exquisite environmentally friendly jewelry. Over the past 3 years we have done our very best to offer breath taking eco friendly, conflict free jewelry and Go Green in as many ways as we can think of. Now, because of your support, a small community in Africa will finally see that people do care and that are love for beautiful diamonds and gold doesn’t have to destroy anyone’s land or livelihood. Its because of you, our supporters, that we can finally make good on our word and start to be the change we want to see in the world.

We will be updating our blog regularly and have a few more very exciting things coming up to help fund the ENOUGH project, including an all expenses paid trip for two to hang out with John Littlefield on the set of Extreme makeover Home Edition, help him design a room and be there to “move that bus”.
