krochet kids
i personally love this company, they are a non profit that gos to other countrys and helps women learn the trait of krochet. the women make the product and people can buy them online and the proceds go to the women who made the product. there big seller is there hats but they do make other things. inside each hand made hat is the name of the women who made your hat. you can go on there web site and type the name of the lady who made it and find their story. the founders of this company had it in mind that if the women ever wanted to go on their own and sell what they make they could because now they have a sellable trait. the women that have made my hats are from uganda and peru and they have now started to send their kids to school and live off them selfs and have changed their lifes for the better. in fact this was said by one of the founders,
Hartanov: "The women hand-sign all their work. We get to know the ladies pretty well and what the program does for them. One, Beatrice, was going from not having enough food to feed her family to dreaming of sending her kids to school, getting a house, starting a business and buying a car. It’s unheard of. She’s already accomplished a lot of those. She’s sent her kids to school and started her own business. Her dignity has been restored."
in a nut shell this is the good that these men do. http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/16/asked-answered-krochet-kids/
