KidKnits started with the very simple idea of a nine-year old girl - to make hats out of hand-made yarn from Rwanda. From this simple idea, however, there comes so much more.
Through purchasing yarn from our partners in Rwanda and Chile, KidKnits is able to provide income to women who desperately need it, while supporting our partners who provide them the opportunity to have dignity through their work. Through selling craft kits to kids around the United States, we honor our founder's belief and teach that you're never too young to change a life on the other side of the world. When our kits are combined with either our global leadership or service learning curriculum in schools or with other student groups, KidKnits provides a unique, effective educational opportunity to inspire students to change the world, while giving them a tangible opportunity to do just that.
