Relate bracelets are handmade and sold to make a difference and change lives. As a 100% not-for-profit social enterprise, the majority of Relate’s revenue is donated to credible causes and invested in social initiatives, with a focus on creating opportunities for all involved, at every stage of a project.
Through the sale of Save a Life in Your Sleep bracelets, Relate has raised more than $74,000USD to support Goodbye Malaria. Each bracelet is handcrafted in South Africa, and includes an informative display card to promote awareness about the fight against malaria.
Goodbye Malaria aims to eradicate malaria in Mozambique, while investing in Africa’s future, creating employment and protecting, changing and saving lives. This bracelet was inspired by Africa – it represents the continent’s heart and soul and the hope for better, happier lives and opportunities for the people of Africa. The yellow beads represent sunshine, life, and happiness to communities and families who have been in the dark – families that have been smitten by the disease. The red beads symbolize ‘the heart’, which represents ‘life’. Inspiration behind the red beads comes from the stamens of the Citronella flower – without the stamens there is no life.

Read moreExclusive African mask “Punu tribe” III, single piece
A very unusual art object is this mask made of Kola Wood, which comes from Gabon. As a single piece it surely will let the heart of every collector and Africa fan beat a little faster.
Decorative wooden mask made of Kola Wood
This beautiful mask is a real asset for any apartment. The wooden mask was carved by an artist from the Punu tribe, who lives in Gabon. They refer to themselves as “Bapunu” (singular: Mupunu).
Coming from the northwest, the Punu settled in the basin of Ngounié in the south of Gabon in the 18th century. The independent village communities were divided into clans and families. In social cohesion, the task was to keep the evil spirits of the forest spellbound.This mask served as a “fertility mask” and was placed under the bed of the lovers in the case of conception problems in order to support the desire for children. A gorgeous African decoration and a real eye-catcher for your home.
Mask for hanging or display on a stand
You can use the Punu mask as a precious wall decoration. If you really want to place them in a representative way, we recommend that you order the appropriate stand with it. The stands were made exclusively for us from iron steel and are perfectly adapted for your mask. So the beauty of this African mask comes to its advantage.
Dimensions: approx. 30 x 16 x 13 cm
Weight: approx. 480 g
