Why is Trailblazer so Special?
At first glance, this bangle might just look like a regular bracelet, but with a closer look, you can see the words “Trailblazer” written on it. (ເສັ້ນທາງສະຫວ່າງ in Lao). All items from Article 22 are created with remanence of war. The bracelet you see here is made from shrapnel that was dropped in Laos during the Secret War. Created by local Lao artisans, Article 22 gives these villagers 5x more pay than the average income in Laos. For each purchase made, Article 22 will donate up to 30% to help fund our mission. https://article22.com/collections/bracelets/products/trailblazer-bangle

Safer Ground for Brighter Futures
Laos is the most heavily bombed country in the world, per capita. Between 1964 and 1973 over two million tons of bombs were dropped on the country – that’s one ton for every person living in Laos at the time. More than 250 million cluster bombs were dropped, but over 30 percent didn’t explode. An estimated 50,000 people have been killed by unexploded bombs, 20,000 since the war ended. Almost half have been children. This deadly legacy continues to threaten the lives of thousands of communities across Laos.
