Krochet Kids International

The Steven is a new handmade line of thin laptop sleeves by Krochet Kids International, to empower women in Northern Uganda to rise above poverty. Each laptop case, made of organic cotton and locally sourced yarn from Uganda and Kenya, is hand knit, sewn, zippered & labeled by the Northern Uganda women. The Steven comes in three styles and is $49.95. Also, half of the proceeds are donated to children’s education initiatives in the developing country.

The Krochet Program consists of ten Ugandan women who sew in a small brick hut. Each purchase not only helps them rise above poverty, but its helps their entire community as well.
