krochet kids international

krochet kids international is a nonprofit organization that i have made the decision the help out by becoming a representative for. i decided to join in because i heard a little bit about them and then after doing some more research, it just seemed like a good fit for me. in short, krochet kids international is a nonprofit to help empower individuals to raise above poverty. they do this by giving them a steady job, the skill of crocheting, and the education on how to manage their money properly. the current area of focus is a group of women in northern Uganda and there are hopes to spread that focus area with growth. the beanies that these woman crochet are shipped back over here to the states where people such as myself sell them. 100% of the profits goes directly back to helping this cause and empowering these people in Uganda. below is a picture of the hats i currently have after meeting up with one of the starters last night, Kohl. if you would like to buy one, give me a call or send me an email letting me know. if you want me to take a better picture of a particular hat let me know that and i can do that. hopefully you'll decide to pick one of these up, not only are you getting an awesome handmade beanie straight from the people we are helping in Uganda, but you are helping out a great cause and more importantly, someone's life. beanies are between $25 and $30.
