Tour of Krochet Kids Uganda
09.28.2012Welcome to Krochet Kids Uganda!
As a part of #CHOOSEAUTHENTICITY week we wanted to give you a closer look at our programs in Northern Uganda and the people that make it so special. Watch this video tour of our compound in Uganda, as lead by our Country Director Sean Galaway, and get a better sense for what our work looks like halfway around the globe.
And to think this all started with just 10 Ugandan women learning to crochet…

What percentage do the Ugandan People Keep from the product and what percentage does your company keep for itself. How has your company been able to positively affect this Ugandan village, what physical changes have come about by your company being there? Why have you decided to do this in Uganda?
Hi Elle,

You can also read our “On the Ground” posts under news for specific stories about the impact that Krochet Kids has made on individuals.
We chose Uganda for a variety of reasons, mostly because we saw a need there. You can learn more about our story here: http://www.krochetkids.org/who-we-are/our-story/
Just heard about your organization on Sirius radio. I think what you are doing is wonderful. I am an art educator in Antioch, IL. I teach a variety of skills and fine art to my students. From drawing, painting, ceramic sculpture, spinning, weaving, knitting, braiding, felting, glass fusing, wire jewelry, etc. I wish my students could appreciate what these things mean to the survival of others. Keep up the good work.
