Krochet Kids International is a program designed to help build the skills of African women. Their mission is to “empower people to rise above poverty,” and will do this by helping African women build their entrepreneurial skills to help sustain themselves in an ever-growing population.
Krochet Kids teaches these women to knit and sells the crochet beanie hats on their website. Proceeds will go directly to one of their projects.
Krochet Kids is currently helping 10 women in Northern Uganda. To help support this cause, visit their website (via URL).
